The benches cleared last night during the Rangers/Mariners game after Richie Sexson took offense to a Kason Gabbard pitch. And we're still trying to figure out why. Here's what the apparently nearsighted Sexson had to say.

"I'm 6-foot-8. He can hit corners at will," Sexson said. "6-8 and all of a sudden he's up that high? I'm a huge target. How hard is it to hit me? Hit me in the back or thigh. Up near my face is no good.

"I've been in the game a long time. I've been hit on purpose before. But it's been the right way. You go to first. It's part of the game. You know how it works."

Or you don't get hit, explode into a fit of rage and start hurtling your helmet at a pitcher. Either way.
