:tongue: I wish I had seen this.

PHOENIX - A fierce brawl that saw Alfredo Aceves and several players throw nasty punches erupted Saturday in the ninth inning of Canada's 10-3 romp over Mexico in the World Baseball Classic in a melee that also involved fans.
The fights broke out after Canada's Rene Tosoni was hit by a pitch from Arnold Leon with Canada leading 9-3 at Chase Field, home of the Arizona Diamondbacks. It turned into a wild scene, as chaotic as any on a major league field in recent years.
Even when the fisticuffs ended, a full water bottle thrown from the crowd struck the face of a Canadian coach. Canada shortstop Cale Iorg angrily threw the bottle back into the crowd.
Several police officers came onto the field trying to restore order, and there were a few skirmishes in the seats. Seven players were ejected.
There had already been several hard plays on the bases when things got out of hand. Shortly before Tosoni was a hit, a bunt single by Canada seemed to heighten the tension -- a tiebreaker in the WBC relies heavily on scoring runs, and the Canadians were trying to pad their margin.
Adrian Gonzalez, Justin Morneau and Joey Votto were among the big-name, high-priced stars playing in the game. The fight was exactly the kind of thing that must have made major league managers and general managers cringe at the thought of one of their players getting hurt in such a fracas.
Aceves was among four Mexican players thrown out -- the angry Boston reliever was tossed to the ground by Philadelphia minor league outfielder Tyson Gillies during the height of the altercation.
Also ejected were Arnold Leon, Oliver Perez and Eduardo Arredondo of Mexico and Tosoni, Pete Orr and Jay Johnson of Canada. A statement from WBC organizers said tape of the incident would be reviewed for possible disciplinary action.
All in all, it was far from the worldwide goodwill that is supposed to accompany this competition, where players exchange team hats with opponents before the start of each game as a sign of sportsmanship.

Sounds more like a boxing match than baseball.

Yeah i read that this morning (Canadian report on it)

You have to remember that most Canadians are raised on ice hockey where beating the shiit out of the other team is normal. This is the main reason that guns are restricted so much in Canada. LOL

Actually that is a fallacy created due to some art, (The Mexican guy in a sombrero against a wall). I have never seen siestas in Mexico. Spain, yes.

From what I have seen of Mexicans, they work harder than Americans or Canadians.

A guy works hard for years and develops the unnatural talents he was born with to rise to the status of professional excellence and pay. Then let's his emotions get the better of him, and ends up with a fine that is larger in most cases, than his dad or other family members earn in one to five years. Being a sports star does not equate into common sense or brains.

Now, why would I expect a racist ignorant like yourself to think any different.

Meet my friends, the Valdez family. They work at their small ceramics store 7 days a week from 8 AM to 10 PM. The sort of work your fat ass has probably never experienced.
