So Nyjer Morgan may be able to appeal his throwing his ball into the stands with intent to harm

But he may get suspended anyway for starting a brawl in Florida.

Had a ball thrown behind him

Charged the mound and got the shit clotheslined out of him by the first baseman. It was fantastic. It was better than Mike Sweeney hitting Jeff Weaver with a cross body block.

He was getting heckled in Philly

Then he threw a ball into the stands at the end of an inning or something and it hit someone, hurting him.

A night later after the game, he taunted the fans pretending to throw a ball into the stands.

This guy would be a great hockey player, goon even.

I think it happens to Cust because umpires don't want to "give" him walks

Or because they know he strikes out a lot.

Because it really seems to happen to him all the time. Could be that he’s one of the few guys who won’t swing at garbage with two strikes (and umpires are not very good at their jobs).
