National MLB Writer Enjoys The Laughter Elicited By San Diego's Padres

With the Brewers current standing in the NL Central (seven games back),  Fox writer Ken Rosenthal discusses the possibility of GM Doug Melvin dealing Prince Fielder. Among a couple of complications in a deal for Fielder, Rosenthal puts his main focus on the potential availability of another power hitting first baseman. Rosenthal writes:

First base, at least at this point, is not an obvious need for most contenders -- and the 16-9 Padres, still could trade first baseman Adrian Gonzalez if they fail to, ahem, run away with the NL West. 

 First off, I think Ken Rosenthal is a bit of a dick. You only need to read the insertion of "ahem" into the above line to arrive at that view (those who disagree...LEAVE NOW!)

As that is my opinion, please don't take this post as some sort of grand indignation I've concocted in reaction to being disrespected as a fan of the Padres. I'm not surprised that Rosenthal would take this view in any way because not only is he a dick...he's a stupid dick.
MY POINT:
Do the Padres need to "run away with the NL West" in order to keep Adrian? I think that just being in contention at the trade deadline would do the trick (it's not like Adrian would pass through waivers later in the season with a salary under $5 million). Lazy sports writer.

Sweet. We're in agreement then.....Ken Rosenthal is a dick and an uninformed one at that.

A Proportional Response: The Prince Fielder Situation

Fielder caressed in the fat above his knee

Last night Prince Fielder was plunked by Dodgers reliever Guillermo Mota in retaliation for Manny Ramirez being hit innings earlier. The Mota response appeared appropriate in light of the fact that his teammate, Manny Ramirez had hit a home run earlier in the game and was later hit by the Brewers......unwritten rules and all: you hit our star we hit yours.

The game was also a laugher at the time Prince Fielder was hit just above the knee.....17-4 in favor of the Dodgers.

The issue however, will linger into tonight's game because Fielder went loony-toons and tried to break into the Dodger clubhouse to get after his old teammate, Mota. What to do?

I hate both Manny Ramirez and the Los Angeles Dodgers but this is a case where I am in support of the LaTrine.

Ordinarily I would suggest treading lightly when handling the emotions of a 260 lb man who has jail-house looking tattoos on his neck and is still white-knuckling a piece of lumber. This is a precarious position for any human being to be in let alone a thin framed hurler dutifully attempting to uphold the game's unwritten code. However, I would also contend that Prince Fielder, as one of the game's top stars, has too much to lose in an attempt at assault. It's additionally noteworthy that any pitcher who has to square off in a bare-knuckle affair with the burly Brewer will have the aid of catcher Russell Martin accosting said Brewer from behind. To that end.....

Go up the ladder tonight and bean that fat fuck right in the ribs!!!

I'm countin' on you LA.
