Okay then, in what state would throwing a helmet at an umpire be a felony? What's the charge? Assault with intent to make a boo-boo?

I am not excusing moron Lawrie for throwing the helmet folks, but the call was clearly sent as an FU, and was the catalyst for the tirade. Not an excuse for it, but the reason behind it.

If Miller would get a real strike zone, because according the sainted F/X charts, he misses a lot of pitches, it may help.

So you are saying that if I threw an object at the ground and hit a person, that would be legal? I am not so sure that is what you mean, but you have to know that is not the case. Better yet, what if a man did that to a woman, would we say that that was OK too?

Peace
