Push a man against a fence like that and he is bound to fight and protect don't you think??

I'd be willing to bet he feels bad that he didn't consider he had his cleats on, but I bet he's enough of a punk to say that would isn't sorry he was kicking in the first place.

I just think that all players need to be smart enough beforehand to realize that kicking someone with metal spikes isn't even an option. Have to be intelligent enough to not let that happen. If a football player intentionally spiked someone in the face on neck, Goodell would frack them up with an epic suspension I believe. That kind of thing shouldn't be tolerated. You say he didn't make the decision to frack someone up with the cleats, but thinking about it ahead of time or not is really irrelevant, he should automatically KNOW ahead of time that kicking someone, especially high, is a huge no-no, because if the damage that could be done. How about trying to throw a punch and be a man. Yes, we all know that baseball fights are lame, no punches are ever thrown, no punches were being thrown during this brawl, only one player spiking people above the waste. And to everyone saying Cueto was pressed up against the fence and defending himself, come on, it was HIS OWN TEAMMATES around him when he got pushed up against the fence in the first place, so it wasn't like LaRue, Carpenter and everyone else had him by his collar pushing him against the fence.
I just don't like the idea of ANY player just getting a slap on the wrist for doing something that could potentially end someone's career, and that includes intentionally head hunting, throwing a bat at someone, spiking someone in the face, etc.
Put me in the minority here I guess, but if you're going to fight during a baseball brawl, do it like a man and use your fists like Nolan Ryan and the real players of the past would do. Don't be a little bitch and cleat someone in the face.
