I disagree MICHIEF. Sweeney started running at him right when Weaver said that. The umpire slowed Sweeney up (a very little). By the time Sweeney threw his helmet Weaver was totally back peddling trying to get away. Sweeney beat his butt blue fair and square and it was cool and well deserved. Regardless... I bet Weaver thinks twice before messing with Sweeney again.

I also like the fact that afterwards Sweemey took full responsibility for what he did and said that he was "embarassed that it had to happen". He then said that whatever the punishment handed down from the league he would "honor it". Spoken like a "True Gentleman". That is called integrity and is something that is totally lacking in all of professional sports IMO.

I would also like to see that kind of "fire" in the Royals game. Maybe next year, doubt it though.:(
