The Rockies vs. Diamondbacks Game Was Invaded by a Swarm of Bees
The Rockies vs. Diamondbacks game yesterday was delayed, when a swarm of bees invaded the field during the fifth inning. Police also ejected a Diamondbacks fan from Coors Field, after he caught a Rockies home run ball and threw it back. The Diamondbacks broadcast booth is compensating him with tickets for an Arizona game. Hopefully, that offer comes with a night on the town with Mark Grace afterward. [Videos via Fox Sports Arizona]

is ben actually a beekeeper?
and a night out with mark grace would involve plenty o hot second-hand smoke action
/marlboro man
May 18th, 2012 at 11:41 AM
I’d walk through a swarm of bees to go out on the town with Gracie and get some of his residual slumpbusters.
May 18th, 2012 at 11:42 AM
S-seriously? I guess that’s to be expected from the stadium that almost wouldnt allow Dustin Pedroia to enter for a World Series game. Incompetent jackweasels.
May 18th, 2012 at 11:43 AM
Rockie fans are soft for letting that guy get over.

cmon now, dude looks like a batboy. this kind of thing happens all the time, babyfaced small people who are on the team being stopped by security
May 18th, 2012 at 11:44 AM
YARDWORK!!!
As mentioned yesterday, Beachy is having a huge year. Peripherals definitely point to some regression, but dude has been dealing. Makes it all the sweeter considering how Keith Law has continued to give this guy no respect.
Also, 2 more hits for Bourn. It will be a shame when he doesn’t get the All-Star starting nod (since you simply vote for outfielders, Kemp shouldn’t keep him from starting) because people don’t recognize him as a big name.
May 18th, 2012 at 11:47 AM
Done at work at noon and going to get my Indians tickets for tonight vs the Marlins.
May 18th, 2012 at 11:47 AM
Orioles = unstoppable. I’m still excited.

David Eckstein would agree.

The Orioles in first is like David Lee Roth with Van Halen. Not meant to last.
May 18th, 2012 at 11:50 AM
Some encouraging stuff from Phil Hughes last night, but the Yankees can’t hit themselves out of a wet paper bag right now.
May 18th, 2012 at 11:51 AM
Metrics crowd: Can somebody tell me where I can find baseline #’s for batting average, ERA, & OPS?
I was trying to compare some people to league average but couldn’t find that. Help please.
May 18th, 2012 at 11:51 AM
Don’t think I used a nickname. Beachy is his actual name.
May 18th, 2012 at 11:51 AM
Braves stole Bourne. Stupid Astros. Trade Wandy to the Indians for scraps please.
May 18th, 2012 at 11:52 AM
That photo on top looks like D. Wade is getting punched in the grill by a furry boxing glove.
May 18th, 2012 at 11:53 AM
Definitely not missing Jordan Schafer
May 18th, 2012 at 11:53 AM
while it is weak, the unoriginal bastard should have done something else. that is a Wrigley Field move, anywhere else it is kind of played out IMO.
May 18th, 2012 at 11:54 AM
Don’t think I used a nickname. Beachy is his actual name.
see, that’s the difference between me and people who know things
May 18th, 2012 at 11:55 AM
Fun with run differentials!
Cleveland: 6 games over .500, -3 differential
Oakland: 1 game over .500, -12 differential
Boston: 2 games under .500, +13 run differential
New York (N): 4 games over .500, -21 differential
Houston: 4 games under .500, +10 differential
AL Central: All teams with negative differential (total -104)
AL East: All teams with positive differential (total +78)
May 18th, 2012 at 11:56 AM
Yeah…Kemp, Braun and probably Beltran should be starting in the OF for the NL.
Phillies above .500, time to crush the Red Sox this weekend. Cliff Lee will once again dominate on Sunday.

You might want to scope out the Marlins dugout reporter and get a closer look.
May 18th, 2012 at 11:59 AM
Beachy is Brandon Beachy’s name. It’s not a nickname.
May 18th, 2012 at 11:59 AM
I think they’ll be in the hunt all year. They’re clearly playing over their heads right now but this is still a good baseball team. These wins have come against a real tough schedule — Texas, New York, Boston, Tampa Bay, and now Washington.
May 18th, 2012 at 11:59 AM

Suggestion?
If you don’t have a solution to the problem, you’re just part of the problem.
May 18th, 2012 at 12:01 PM
Yankees and Red Sox currently 4th and 5th in the AL East.
Say it with me now. If Boston doesn’t improve their pitching rotation and their bullpen, they have no shot at the playoffs.
May 18th, 2012 at 12:01 PM
Yeah, you’re probably right. Although you factor in SB and defense, and I think Bourn and Braun is a close call. But Braun probably gets the nod.
May 18th, 2012 at 12:01 PM
Beachy is Brandon Beachy’s name. It’s not a nickname.
nothing sums up how much fun you are than this
May 18th, 2012 at 12:02 PM
Good sign
Hate to tell ya, Boston’s taking at least 2 out of 3… enjoy Lester v Blanton : )
May 18th, 2012 at 12:03 PM
But Braun probably gets the nod.
star-fucking voters
May 18th, 2012 at 12:03 PM
There sure are a lot of Sox fans around here…even a few others not mentioned. I have no idea how a crotch chop would affect CJ…
May 18th, 2012 at 12:03 PM
AH GOD NOT THE BEES AH GOB MY EYES AHGHGHHGHGHILPGHGLPBPBMPB!!!!!!!!!!!

Van Halen have abruptly postponed all tour dates after their June 26th show in New Orleans with no explanation.

You’ve been warned.
I think the O’s will have a fun year. I was just poking fun actually. The Tribe got a lot of unjust grief last year. I know how it is.

Does anyone remember the made for TV movie on FOX in the late nineties or early 2000s where killer bees trap a family in the house and a kid survives by snorkeling in the tub with a straw? What a movie.
May 18th, 2012 at 12:04 PM
Lester coming off a CG shutout v Blanton tomorrow.
May 18th, 2012 at 12:05 PM
Criminally underused these days…
May 18th, 2012 at 12:06 PM
I wish they would move Cole to tomorrow to make it Cole/Lester, but at least Sunday is good with Lee/Beckett.
Chooch is gonna fuck Lester up.
And I’m quite sure there will be much more trash talk tomorrow, especially once we get some beers in us.
May 18th, 2012 at 12:06 PM
Man…I remember the days when I was the only one (at least publically).
May 18th, 2012 at 12:09 PM

might make a hatchet wound
May 18th, 2012 at 12:09 PM
Phillies are 0-9 in the last 9 games started by either Cliff Lee or Roy Halladay. They’ve also managed a meager 1.96 runs in those games.
Bought a fish last night. Named him Cliff Lee. He’s on my island in my kitchen.
May 18th, 2012 at 12:10 PM
red sox v. phils is a cripple battle, surprisingly
May 18th, 2012 at 12:10 PM
They won last night for Doc. Diekman almost blew it in the 9th though.
May 18th, 2012 at 12:11 PM
The Red Sox are like Forrest Gump. Start out crippled and the butt of everyone’s jokes, but in the end they’ll come out on top.

May 18th, 2012 at 12:12 PM
Wow, so Charlie Manuel got suspended for his run in with Bob Davidson but.. Davidson got suspended too! Bravo, MLB. Its nice to see some kind of consequences for these umps.
May 18th, 2012 at 12:15 PM

but not for the lowrie ump? we don’t need NHL type inconsistency
May 18th, 2012 at 12:15 PM
Braves stole Bourne. Stupid Astros.
Definitely not missing Jordan Schafer
Schafer was 2-4 last night and drove in a run. He strikes out a lot, but he’s cheaper over the next few years than Bourn is going to be. Bourn will be owed a big contract soon, which doesn’t fit with the Astros rebuilding plans.
May 18th, 2012 at 12:16 PM
Charlie had a meltdown. The field mics picked up quite the tussle. Davidson totally got in Chooch’s way on that passed ball. Charlie flipped his shit.
“Get the hell out of the way, Bob!”
“You think I was trying to block him on purpose?”
“FUCK YOU!”
May 18th, 2012 at 12:16 PM
when I would tell the same thing to people at Baum Stadium, where the Razorbacks play, I would tell them to throw it in the detention pond behind the batters eye in CF.
May 18th, 2012 at 12:18 PM
“Get the hell out of the way, Bob!”
“You think I was trying to block him on purpose?”

wow, that escalated in a hurry
May 18th, 2012 at 12:18 PM
I dont think he wouldve gotten suspended though if his hat hadnt made contact with the ump’s forehead
May 18th, 2012 at 12:19 PM
Just checked. Bourn is a Free Agent after this season (making $6.8 million this year) and is represented by Scott Boras. Have fun with that Braves fans.
May 18th, 2012 at 12:19 PM
Davidson could’ve easily defused the situation saying something like, “You think I’m that nimble? Why do you think I’m an ump and not a player?”
May 18th, 2012 at 12:26 PM
when I would tell the same thing to people at Baum Stadium, where the Razorbacks play, I would tell them to throw it in the detention pond behind the batters eye in CF.
I’d throw a frozen rope at the batter rounding 2nd
May 18th, 2012 at 12:28 PM
Have fun with that Braves fans.
Yeah – he’s gone. No chance he stays with the Braves fiscal policy. I’m OK with that.
May 18th, 2012 at 1:37 PM
Daniel Nava and Big Papi to the rescue tonight in Philly. Fuck Hamels!
May 18th, 2012 at 1:40 PM
I completely forgot about Papelbon! I can’t wait until he’s in in a close game, and all the hitters are just sitting on his fastball because he’s afraid to throw anything else.
May 18th, 2012 at 1:42 PM
Dear Daniel Bard,
Throw strikes…thats all
May 18th, 2012 at 2:16 PM
Doubt anyone is reading this thread anymore, but yeah, Braves probably have very little shot at resigning him. Not that I think they should. Speedster who will be on the wrong side of 30 at the start of his next contract isn’t exactly who you want to be bidding for.
Still, though, I trade Schafer 10 times out of 10 for a year and a half of Michael Bourn.
