Angry Bard storms the field
Pads' Bard, Black ejected in 11th after disputing HR call
The ump signaled Josh "Story time" Bard back to second base after what was originally called a home run. When Bard took the field he was immediately ejected. These screen shots clearly show he was just trying to take the field to find his place at second as the umpire requested. Unfortunately the umpire was in between Bard and second base and that's the reason that he made accidental contact with him. So really this whole thing is just a big misunderstanding. Can't we all get along?
So what do you think the result of this brawl will be? A fine? A suspension? Jail time? I bet the commissioner will make an example out of him and give him hard labor on a chain gang.

Bardo
All I know is that after tossing Bard, the ump was about as mad as I've ever seen an ump get. There was pure evil in his eyes! I hope Bard said something really foul to get himself tossed when he was in the dugout and the ump was near second base.
Heading to the weekend series here in DC and couldn't be happier about tonight's matcup.

Josh...
What pisses me off is the umpires did NOT get it right. Were they right that it wasn't a homerun? Yes. But the ball hit the railing and ended up back in play. Josh ran around the bases and touched home plate. That's an inside-the-park homerun. Why were the Padres punished because the Pirate outfielders don't know the rules in their OWN damn ballpark??
Let's say for the sake of argument that Xavier Nady or Chris Duffy had caught that ball on the fly after it had dinged off the railing. Now let's say they had turned and rifled the ball to second before Josh got there. What would the umps have called then?
The bottom line is that we lost a run and probably our starting catcher for at least a few games.

I like Barrett but only take Zambrano if we can turn him into an outfielder.
