looked like fielder was yelling at him for something
and parra threw his jacket down on the bench, looked like the sleeve popped up and hit prince in the face. prince shoved him into the dugout bench, then 2-hand pushed him in the face, then it got broken up.

His worth can't be converted to something as common as money;
he’s just absolutely worthless.

Fielder and Parra were walking next to each other and talking
and next thing you see, Fatso starts shoving Parra.
What I don’t understand is why they just don’t beat up Yost instead?
THIS IS OUR CENTURY!!
Look, obviously you're not thinking like Lardass
Look at Yost’s old, decrepit skin; his muscles probably aren’t tender and delicious.
Manny Parra, on the other hand, is a 25 year-old buck from California. I bet he’s the equivalent of Cosmo Kramer tanning on the roof.

This is exactly how my Lt. describes our PD!

That's absurd
He should have sat fielder.
These are the saddest of possible words: "Tinker to Evers to Chance"
Look at Prince Fielder's size
Now, he’s pretty pissed right now. Instead of thinking to himself “I’ll wait until the clubhouse to unleash my unearthly, fat rolls of strength on Parra” he got it started right in the dugout.
Would you honestly want to sit a guy who’s that pissed, right now? I’m pretty sure he has his own gravitational pull.

Brewers Infighting Tonight in Cinci
Prince Fielder and Manny Parra got in a shoving match in the Breer dugout tonight. Parra was taken out for a pinch hitter and was seen in the dugout muttering to himself, and then he threw his glove. Fielder than came up to him and shoved him very hard, twice. The rest of the Brewers had to separate the players. Frustration appears to be spilling over for the Brew Crew, who trail tonight’s game 6-2 in the bottom of the 7th in Cinci.
One day, the dream will come true.
look above.
it was his jacket, not his glove.

Just looked at the film again.
Looked like what I said earlier was spot on. Parra was pissed about getting pulled, Fielder started walking with him down the dugout bench, kind of jawing at him, but not bad. Then Parra goes to throw his warmup jacket on the bench and held on to it, with the sleeve coming up and hitting Fielder.
Cue Fielder going batshit.

At the risk of being flamed,
I am a Brewers fan sympathizer. How bad was it when this happened in the Cubs dugout last year. Bad press, bad for the team, bad for baseball, bad taste in my mouth about it. However, picking a fight with Fielder (intentionally or not) is not a good idea for 95% of all MLB players. Don’t like their chances!

Since the Brew Crew...
are going through tough times I really hope this Cubs game gets underway.
I can tell you one thing the storm that hit Wrigley hit my city. That storm was impressive.
The upper part of Kane County had a Tornado warning and there was a tornado sighting.
I know safety comes first and foremost…. I just hope they dont call it. But they will make the right call.
DEROSA: How did it feel when you're sitting in Baton Rouge and it came across the ticker that Mark DeRosa had just signed to play second base with the Chicago Cubs.
THERIOT: In all honestly, when I saw it, I really felt like punching you right in the mouth and or breaking your leg.
This is lame
the Cubs are up for four more innings, and Dempster is throwing relatively well.

"That guy is a gamer." said Ron Santo of Reed Johnson on 07-25-08
If you think back to the way Fatso lost his temper in the last game against the Cubs,
it seems the guy has some serious anger management issues. The league may have to deal with this guy if Yost or Brewer management won’t.
THIS IS OUR CENTURY!!
The buzz is that the Brewers are thinking about letting him go.
He keeps giving them more reasons to do so.

well, if that's how Prince handles
the pressure of a pennant race, he’s really not very mature, in my opinion, Or much of a team leader, frankly. As an outsider, he seems like more trouble than he’s worth,
I live on...
The 36th floor of a tall building near Wrigley (the big brown one behind center field) and I’m watching the storms come in… it’s scaaaaary!

How much is the rent there, by the way?
No exact numbers if you’re not comfortable, just an estimate
"I think Hendry still has a few years to serve on his 'grand larceny' sentence before he can shop in Pittsburgh again" - ballhawk
It's..
A condo building actually. Some of the unit owners rent out their places, but there’s really no standard rate. I’m renting from a unit owner… when I was looking to move into the building I saw rent rates from $1,300-$1,700/mo for a 1 bedroom. How heavily renovated and whether it had a north or south view seemed to influence it…
Good god.
I pay 1/5th the cost of that. Thank God I’m in a college town.
"I think Hendry still has a few years to serve on his 'grand larceny' sentence before he can shop in Pittsburgh again" - ballhawk
The irony...
Is that there are plenty of buildings on the north side that have smaller, un-renovated units without great views for more money per month. I lived on the south side before moving up here, and was kind of shocked by the rates myself.
Anyway, here’s some photos.

I was at Wrigley for the Giants series before the all-star break.
Walking down Waveland, there were listings for an apartment building on Waveland. You can see this building on TV behind the LF bleachers every game. Listings were for a studio up to a 2 bedroom apartment. They were asking $1500-$1600/mo for the studio. Higher for the 1 and 2 bedroom apartments
I would be crapping myself if I
was stuck in an apt buildingi n a tornado warning in Chicago.

That usually leads towards being a jackass when your teammates mess up. Not comparing Prince to these guys, but Jordan always used to get pissed at his teammates. Once punched one of them in the face during practice.
Some of these guys care so much that they get carried away at times. Zambrano is another example.

I heard that Parra mentioned to Fielder in the dugout that he
should have fielded a ball hit towards him. Instead it went through for a single.
I think another Brewer pitcher (Villanueva?) also once gave Fielder a dirty look for doing that.
Breathe. Fielder needs all the air necessary to stay alive

in sunday's brewers game...
milwaukee had a rally going with the pitcher due. hart, hardy, and weeks were not starting. ned used weeks not pinch hit. idiocy
Probably the Fielder/Parra fight means the Brewers are falling apart.
But remember, the Zambrano/Barrett fight last year was one of the precursors to the Cubs’ run to the division title.
Of course, they’ve got Ned Yost, and we have Lou Piniella. Nuff said.
