You serious. Clark?
I can't even count how many times Astros fans have called for other teams players to get " earholed" on this forum. What a shifty fan base full of hypocrites.
Every team has fans that say that. It's a way of voicing displeasure and/or the desire for retaliation, but nobody in their right mind actually wants someone to take one in the ear. It just sounds tougher than calling for someone to be hit in the ribs or thigh. I get that you don't like the Astros, but at least pretend that you've heard other fans talk about the game.
In that case, the guy saying "cheaters get drilled" could easily be dismissed as simply "someone voicing displeasure", not actually wanting someone to take one in the ear. That's what BCG was asking, right?
Fine by me. I don't remember ever saying that I had a problem with that comment.
I think if anything, the funny part of the original comment is the implication that the Astros are the only ones who cheated and/or deserve to be hit. Joe Kelly himself was on a team that was busted for the same kind of cheating, and he's also been suspected (with pretty clear evidence) of using a foreign substance on the mound... against the Astros, no less.
