Jeff Francis was wearing his CANADA shirt at Chase Field on Saturday night.

That’s when players from free-trade partners, Mexico and Canada, decided to drop the gloves and bats and make you wonder whether WBC stood for: World Baseball Classic or World Boxing Council?

Fighting for a spot in the Colorado Rockies rotation, Francis said Monday he had never been involved in such a violent brawl like that or even seen anything like it.

Punches were thrown.

Separate skirmishes broke out.

Peacemakers were outnumbered by haymakers.







Is the season lost for the Toronto Blue Jays or is there still time to turn things around?
  Plenty of time to get it turned around
  They're quickly running out of time
  It's lost. When do the Argos start?
  It was over before it began
