Just because you Cubbie fans hate Pierzynski, that doesn't give anyone the right to pummel him.
Oh, yeah, GO WHITE SOX!!!!!!

Well Steve in other sports it is very common to throw out the instigator in a fight (someone who does not throw a punch). Now you were not standing only few feet away from the play, you have no idea what was said or not said. This has nothing to do with who threw a punch or who did not throw a punch. This is not like the Bonds situation that took place about a week ago during the Astros/Giants game. There might have been words said that no one has talked about.
