LAst Night's Action: Crazy Dodgers-Padres Rumble In San Diego
San Diego Fireworks. As we say in media circles, sh*t just got real. In the bottom of the sixth inning of what would be a Dodgers win over the Padres (3-2; see scoreboard below), Zack Greinke hit Carlos Quentin with a pitch. A brawl erupted.
According to the official box score, Quentin, Matt Kemp and Jerry Hairston, Jr. were ejected. Greinke left due an injury which we have found out was a broken collarbone. (Reminder: his contract is worth $147 million). But it wasn't over.
After the game, it wasn't like Prince Fielder charging to get into the Dodger clubhouse, but reporters were around for some postgame pleasantries.

As Quentin walked into the parking lot, Kemp told him, "We'll see, bitch."

Matt Kemp and Carlos Quentin exchanged angry words in the clubhouse tunnel moments ago, being separated by teammates.

But there were some niceties.
A.J. Ellis said #Padres players apologized for Quentin's actions. "It's not right, it's not right," he said one player told him.

The Dodgers have a three-game series against the Padres at home starting on Monday.
Some Padres fans were happy that their team beat up the Dodgers. I guess they didn't see the final score.
By the way, Juan Uribe is the home run leader for the Dodgers.
