There was just an altercation between the Rangers' bullpen and some fans. I'm not sure exactly what happened, but the Rangers started streaming out of the dugout, and then someone in the bullpen threw s chair into the stands. It looked like the pitching coach of the Rangers had to be restrainted. Stay tuned.

Update: I don't know the Rangers faces well enough, but one of the relievers and one of the fans at field level near the dugout were shouting and pointing fingers at each other. It appears that it was Frank Francisco who threw the chair. He was out of the game and game out of the dugout with the rest of the team.

Update: Just saw a good replay of the chair toss. It looks to me like he threw the chair over the offending fan and hit the woman behind him.

Update: It looks like the Rangers want the field box by the bullpen cleared out. Macha appears to agree

Update: The Bay Area FoxSports channel is doing a poor job of showing what happened. There's only been a couple of replays, and very little information from the announcers. A NY or Boston station would have shown it 100 times by now.

Update: This is all happening in the top of the 9th with an 0-2 count on Blalock.

Update: They've just announced that if a fan comes on the field, the game will be forfeited to the Rangers.

Update: They finally got the game back underway. Blalock singled, the A's are bringing in Bradford to pitch to M. Young.

Update: Bradford got Young to end the inning. The A's will bat in the bottom of the 9th tied at 5.

Update: Now that he's come into the game, it appears that it was Doug Brocail who was in the shouting match with the fan.
