Ellison Kicks some ass

by Keenlow on Jul 9, 2007 3:41 AM PDT

Hey everyone, I don't know if anyone is interested in this but Ellison had a big day for the Mariners going 4-4 and starting a fight with Joe Blanton...who's easily got like 100 lbs on him.

Fairly Awesome. GO ELLISON! I hope he gets more ab's in the second half for the Mariners now that Hargrove is out; maybe Mclaren will play him a bit more.

Re: Ellison Kicks some ass

He also shoved Joe Blanton after Blanton shoved Ichiro during an altercation behind the plate. Throw down little man!

Re: Ellison Kicks some ass

I dunno bout that. Looks like Jason is carrying his left a little low. Against a mammoth of a right hander, that's probably not a good idea.

Re: Ellison Kicks some ass

Ellison looks like he wants to throw a punch, Blanton looks like he's just going to eat Ellison.

Re: Ellison Kicks some ass

Ha, my dad commented on that last night, he said, and I quote:

"This fat A's pitcher got in the face of little skinny Ichiro ... and now look at that! There's another skinny little black guy going after him ... he's gonna get killed! Look at him go after that fat guy."

Proud of our Elly!

It Looked Like

It looked like Ichiro was in the way of a ball that was still in play. I don't think Ichiro knew the ball was at his feet but he also was not watching the rest of the play. I thought Blanton was fine in moving Ichiro out of the way in case the batter tried to score after the triple. Blanton then blew it by not picking up the ball after he shoved Ichiro.
Blanton was probably pretty pissed at giving up three runs on the triple.

Re: It Looked Like

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Blanton was in the right to push Ichiro (who didn't seem to have a problem with it). It looked like he then saw Ibanez back up to third and that he didn't need to pick up the ball in any hurry.

One funny part of that clip is that Ichiro gets shoved out of nowhere by a 260 pound guy and doesn't even stumble, he just dances back three steps or something. Dude is a freak. I'd have gone down in a heap.

Re: It Looked Like

Over at Lookout Landing (Mariners SportsBlog) they were commenting on how Ichiro is secretly a ninja and could disembowel Blanton with his bare hands. I'd believe it.

Of course there was a healthy amount of wank about the fracas on Athletics Nation. Someone had to take a shot at Ellison for being an ex-Giant. Wow, way to go random A's fan asshat, point out one of the least relevant ex-Giants ever and make fun of him for it.

Re: It Looked Like

Someone should put that guy in the Octogan with Ellison.

Re: It Looked Like

An asshat statement of my own is warranted. When I hear of an odd incident or fight happening at a ballpark, I would assume it had a good chance of happening in Oakland.

But we're surprised to learn it didn't involve a fan.

I'm sure someone would have thrown coins, cell phones or cherry bombs if given the chance.

Re: Ellison Kicks some ass

It helped 6-8 Richie Sexon was also there to help out Jason Ellison (generously listed as 5-10) against 6-3 Blanton.

Re: Ellison Kicks some ass

I'm proud of Jason, he a true Giants product then sticking up for his fellow team mate. He should have kicked the fat boys arse, damn Blanton can't handle losing so he go around trying to pick a fight.

Re: Ellison Kicks some ass

That's what our team needs. More skinny black guys that know how to fight. Remember Michael Tucker trying to knock Gagne the fuck out in 2004? They may be terrible ball players (Ellison and Tucker) but I have a feeling they'd be on any team John McGraw would manage.

If Brad Hennesy had Steve Kline's attitude you'd get Rob Nen... without the triple digit heat.
