Tonight I'm blasting Seattle Mariners First Baseman Richie Sexson. In case you missed it, Sexson lost his cool Thursday night after Kason Gabbard(former Red Sox pitcher) came in high in tight during the Mariners-Rangers game.

The pitch never actually hit him, but the 6'8 Sexson decided to charge the mound. Here's what I have a problem with. Sexson takes his helmet off and throws it at Gabbard on his way to the mound. Remember, Gabbard is standing there completely defenseless.

If you want to charge the mound, go right ahead, but drop your helmet, drop your bat and fight like a man. You don’t see hockey players throwing their equipment at each other, do you?

Sexson was trying to be a tough guy, but instead looked as soft as his .209 batting average. Major League Baseball suspended him 6 games for his actions.

What do you think?

Someone on SportsCenter put it best this morning,

"Sexson hits Gabbard with his helmet, one of the few hits Sexson has had all year."

What a fraud. The pitch wasn't even in on him, just high. It was like he was looking for a brawl.

not defending him, it was idiotic.. but..... I guess he's had a hell of a week. Kid in the hospital and he's probably a bit ornery as it is struggling at the plate and all. Again, not defending it but a bit of insight maybe.

if sexson had reached the mound gabbard shold ave done one of two things.Kick him in the balls or do what al nipper once did to phil bradley.Drop your glove and punch him out with your nonpitching hand.Nipper says he learned that from watching hockey fights on tv

Should have been 12 games. 6 for actually doing it, and 6 for doing it in such a cowardly manner.
