Well,..In the Immortal words of Ron Burgundy…”You stay classy San Diego”.
That was interesting. Carlos Quentin is now PUBLIC ENEMY #1 In Los Angeles. I don’t really get what this dudes problem was, he led the league in HBP in 2011 and 2012. Also, Zack Greinke had a 3-2 count to this guy in a 2-1 ball game, not exactly an ideal situation to plunk a guy. Especially to a guy batting .250…Now comes word that Zack Greinke has suffered a Broken Left Collarbone…wow. Mr.Quentin, you have been warned.
Zack Greinke will probably be out for 6 weeks. Not exactly what you want for the 147 Million dollar investment. This sucks. The guy stands right on top of the plate, you cannot be a big cry baby if you continually do that. that is bush league.
Matt Kemp finally got a couple hits, unfortunately it was actual Padre players and maybe even Bud Black, Padres Manager. Kemp exploded after hearing the news that Greinke was hurt, he was pleading his case to whomever would listen, At one point it looked like he was trying to fight Andre Ethier and Josh Beckett, but who in the league hasn’t hit Beckett. I like to see that fire in our players but that is dampened by the loss of Greinke for 6 weeks.
Now a little about the game, Zack Greinke looked good cruising through 5 innings, Carl Crawford remains on FIRE!! I think he is finally healthy and happy. It’s really nice to see Adrian Gonzalez get his power stroke back with that monstrous blast to right field.
But the man of the hour is Juan Uribe with a fence scrapper. Dude looks like he hits it to the upper deck, does the bat flip and it barely goes over..lol.
One last thing on the fight, I do completely agree with Don Mattingly in that Quentin shouldn’t be able to play until Greinke pitches. We all know that will NOT happen, at most he’ll get 3-5 games. But an Eye for an Eye.
This game wasn’t easy, but nothing really ever is for the boys in blue. Especially in San Diego, This is their World Series considering they wont be a contender for the next 5 years. We know this coming in, yet we still do NOT come with that fire that we KNOW we need! One day we’ll figure it out.
On to the Desert..D backs beware the boys in blue are not in good moods…
