LAST EDITED ON Jul-24-11 AT 02:35AM (MST)[p]Nyjer Morgan, Besides flipping off our fans on TV and then making a total tool of himself last night after a RBI double, only to get thrown out trying to advance to third on a ball in the dirt, here'some of his other exploits;
"On August 25, 2010, Morgan was given a seven game suspension for allegedly throwing a ball at a fan during a game against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.
Just one week later, on September 1, 2010, Morgan was involved in an on-field brawl with Florida Marlins pitcher Chris Volstad. On the previous night Morgan ran into Marlins catcher Brett Hayes, separating Hayes' shoulder. On the following night Morgan was hit by a pitch in the 4th inning. Later that night Volstad threw behind Morgan. Incensed by the pitch, Morgan charged the mound, taking a swing at Volstad before being clotheslined by Marlins first-baseman Gaby Sanchez, leading to a bench clearing fight. [12] MLB gave Morgan an eight-game suspension and an undisclosed fine as a result of his actions.
Morgan was also involved in an incident on May 22, 2010 in which he let a drive by Baltimore's Adam Jones pop out of his glove, and instead of picking it up and getting it back into the infield as quickly as possible, Morgan instead decided to spike his glove in anger, while stomping away from the ball. Jones circled the bases for an inside the park home run. Morgan's play cost his team a run, and he was booed by the crowd as he left the field.
The boy struts around like he's really something that everybody needs to see.
I loved seeing him get shot down while stupidly trying to steal third last night and possibly costing his team the win. A guy very easy not to like!
