Someone needs to give Prince Fielder that book that has baseball's unwritten rules in it


So after the Brewers/Dodgers game last night, Prince Fielder apparently charged through the underground tunnels at Dodger Stadium attempting to enter the Dodger clubhouse so to make a personal visit to Dodgers pitcher Guillermo Mota who hit him with a pitch in retaliation for Milwaukee pitcher, Chris Smith hitting Manny Ramirez because they had problems getting Ramirez out.

I have to believe that Fielder had a good idea that he was going to get hit after Ramirez got plunked with the Brewers down nine runs so I don't really understand the "going wild" thing on his part.

Now that I think about it, if you are going to do this, you may as well do it in the clubhouse rather than the field which may spare you a suspension.

On the other hand, then you have break down locks and doors and stuff and also scare people and maybe that is just not the best way to act out a tirade.

Maybe the best thing to do is just go to first base, think about what you are going to do after the game and just prepare for the next game. Not as exciting but.....

My guess is that some bad blood must be lingering from Mota's time on the Brewers.

Heck, I want to beeat down Mota and I didn't even get HBP

As a Brewer fan, the Crew have had some downright disappointing episodes this year. I went to bed when it was 4-3 and woke up to a 17-4 pummeling followed by a temper tantrum. Is it too early to break out the paper bags?

PRINCE FIELDER HAS BEEN KNOWN AS A HOTHEAD AND A WHINER SINCE HIS DAYS IN HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL IN MELBOURNE, FL...I SAW THE PITCH THAT HIT HIM....IT WAS A RETALIATION PITCH, NO DOUBT BUT IT WAS NOT A HEAD HUNTER PITCH LIKE MANY OF THOSE KIND OF PITCHES ARE.....AND HIS AFTER GAME REACTION WAS PURE CHILDISH, BORING AND ARROGANT...HE NEEDS TO GROW UP ABOVE THE SHOULDERS
