Post-Game 9 Thread: Emptied Bench, Urine Flows

DODGERS 3, PADRES 2

Fuck Carlos Quentin.

Jason Marquis threw over the head of Matt Kemp in the first inning, but the Dodgers kept their cool. Zack Greinke hit Carlos Quentin in the sixth inning, and Quentin, the punk, charged Greinke. Greinke took the blow of Quentin with his non-throwing shoulder forward, but Quentin's charge fractured Greinke's collarbone. Benches cleared, but the damage to the Dodgers will last well beyond this game.

Juan Uribe (who now LEADS the Dodgers in HR, for pete's sake) hit a game-winning PH HR in the top of the eighth to break the 2-2 tie (Dodgers had opened up a 2-0 lead in the first with a Carl Crawford leadoff single and a soaring Adrian Gonzalez two-run HR). That held up when Kenley Jansen worked a 1-2-3 ninth. Dodgers take the series from the Padres.

But really, fuck Carlos Quentin. He's a disgrace to Stanford.

Carlos Quentin has led the league in HBP the last two years.

Yeah, Greinke's hit him I think three times already?

Quentin sucks.

Jeff Passan ‏@JeffPassan 1m

Broken collarbone is usually a 6-to-8-week recovery. So looks like a June-or-so return for Zack Greinke.

Paul said...

As I was saying Stanford prick.

Steve Sax said...

At least we've got that Aaron Harang guy on the bench, since he...

Oh.

Alex said...

Watch your 6, Quentin...

Steve Sax said...

Mattingly on Quentin: "That's just stupid, that's what it is. He shouldn't play a game until Greinke can pitch."

Mattingly is furious.

Steve Sax said...

Hairston Jr. was barking at John Baker, according to Mattingly.

Kemp got pissed when he knew Greinke was hurt.

Dusty Baker said...

I'll be there Monday night getting drunk, surly, and likely over the line.

BJ Killeen said...

Ditto everything you all are saying.

Steve Sax said...

Post-game show is supposed to have audio from Greinke shortly.

BJ Killeen said...

C'mon Torre giant fines and long suspension.

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

Unfuckenbelievable

Steve Sax said...

Greinke: "[Quentin] always seems to think I hit him on purpose, but that's not the case, really. [I'm] pretty sure I hurt myself in the collision."

Orel said...

How is Greinke so calm?

Steve Sax said...

Greinke: "I don't remember the last time I wanted to get in a fight with someone. I have comments on this stuff, but I don't have them to you guys [the press]. Sorry."

Paul said...

Fuck I'm pissed and sad.

Orel said...

This is upsetting.

karen said...

And I thought last night was torture. I can't take it anymore.

(Goes to bed, gets into a fetal position and cries)

Bill Shaikin ‏@BillShaikin 17s

Quentin: "It's unfortunate. It could have been avoided. You can ask Zack about that."

MR.F said...

FUCK QUENTIN

Disgrace to furd? Fucking furd. FUCKERS

Steve Sax said...

It could have been avoided if you hadn't charged the fucking mound (or crowded the goddamn plate), Quentin

BJ Killeen said...

Quentin's fine should be Greinke's salary for the time he's out. Paid by him personally.

Hideo Nomo said...

240 lb Quentin, with a full head of steam, couldn't knock down the 190 lb Greinke.

Although, sidestep next time Zack. It's funnier and you'll stay healthy.

Orel said...

Dylan Hernandez ‏@dylanohernandez 4m

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

Steve Sax said...

Kemp is going to douse Quentin in syrup.

And then call over Juan Uribe.

BJ Killeen said...

Sax. You are 2 funny.

Dusty Baker said...

Sorry but I'm really still pissed off and it's getting worse.

This one jackass on Twitter just said:
Good night all. I'm gonna sleep on my collarbone just fine. #SuckitDodgers

So of course I had to break some shit off and say:
I'm gonna sleep on ur mom just fine, u white trash POS

Orel said...

Dennis Lin ‏@dennistlin 7m

Matt Kemp: "I think Carlos Quentin went to Stanford...I heard there's some smart people at Stanford. That wasn't too smart."

Dusty Baker said...

cc: Sax

BJ Killeen said...

Okay. Get it out of our systems. Let's regroup. Ryu will have to step it up. Cappy will get stronger. Lilly and Chad will fill in. Uribe will start hitting regularly, and Matt's anger will start the HR slams. This is our time. This is our year. Nothing's going to stop us or even slow us down. Who's with me?

Orel said...

I is! Way to rally the troops, BJ!

Damn, Dusty, why you reading that shit?

Orel said...

Jon Weisman ‏@jonweisman 1m

RT @SmartAleck64: Wow...pictures.. Kemp still looks pissed.. #dodgers #Padres http://imgur.com/a/5wVUI

Alex said...

Can't sleep, still pissed...

BJ Killeen said...

Me too Alex

Steve Sax said...

Me three.

That, and Candy Crush Saga

Steve Sax said...

Still cant sleep

Hideo Nomo said...

What level, Sax? I gave up after 91 pissed me off for two weeks straight.

rbnlaw said...

Matt Kemp is the fucking bomb. Look out Quentin.

Honestly, where are the wags who questioned the "chemistry" of the Dodgers? Are they now espousing the "chemistry" of the Angels?

Roll Blue.

QuadSevens said...

In hockey there are set penalties and they double when someone is injured. Baseball needs to adopt the same thinking.

Quentin should be suspended without pay based on Greinke's pay scale and given a fine by MLB.

Pistol Pete Reiser said...

Roll Blue

No more fights. Play angry. Beat them like a rented mule and walk away.

Torre and crew better nut up on this.

And right now - NOW - we should resign Donnie and create a monster of a team behind him, talk about a fucking rallying cry. [see Gibson in Braveheart]

Franklin Stubbs said...

It's Friday morning, and I'm feeling extra salty.

Dusty Baker said...

It's going to be all I can do not to start some shit today. DOn't know with whom, but anyone will do. I am saltier than...than SoSG Stubbs. And slightly hungover. And pissed. I'm out for more revenge more than Steven Seagal.

It starts now.

Franklin Stubbs said...

I don't know Dusty.

A deer just licked me.

BJ Killeen said...

Candy Crush: working on level 181 now.

rbnlaw said...

Just you all wait till Dusty and I get back from Shit Camp.

And ditto to everything PPR said, but I have no faith that Torre (as a Bud Puppet) will do anything close to the "right thing."

And if the MLBPA steps in to lighten Quentin's suspension, they can go suck a big bag of . . .

Paul said...

If you can't take getting hit by a baseball you shouldn't play the game. You take your base like a man and pretend the ball can't hurt you. Then let your pitcher get your back. Unless of course that Pitcher is Bills but whatever.

Paul said...

Salty Stubbs sounds like something I can get at the county fair.

QuadSevens said...

Before last night's game, Quentin had been hit twice by 12 different active pitchers. Does he "have history" with all of them?

He's also been hit 3 times by Jon Lester and 3 times in only 9 plate appearances by Eric Bedard.

Billingsley has hit Quentin before. So if he throws an inside pitch, is Quentin going to consider that "history" and charge the mound again?

Pedro Guerrero said...

AJ Ellis is a worthless excuse for a catcher. It's his fckn job to prevent Greinke from getting hurt by grabbing the batter not looking around like a clueless dumbshit. Drop your mask and grab the batter.

Hideo Nomo said...

Oh shit. This brought Pedro back from the dead.

Hideo Nomo said...

Key item on the "history": Greinke last hit Quentin FOUR YEARS AGO, with 19 plate appearances in between.

Paul said...

Neeebs has hit Carlos Quentin two times with his car.

QuadSevens said...

Baseball Reference shows the HBP in 2009 was the 13th plate appearance between the two. Last night's HBP was the 31st plate appearance.

Hideo Nomo said...

OK, 17 then. Radio said 19.

QuadSevens said...

Either way, Quentin's an asshat.

rbnlaw said...

Fuck me, I still can't get to sleep.


Oh wait.


Dodgers will be announcing a sell-out for the series vs. The Enslavers of Native Peoples soon.
