The Dugout Incident

During Monday night's game the FSN broadcast showed Manny Parra and Prince Fielder walking to the end of the dugout exchanging words, and then Fielder snapping on Parra. Fielder shoved Parra with full force back into the wall. Several Brewers then restrained Fielder from mauling Parra.

This is absolutely unacceptable behavior from Fielder regardless of what was said. Teammates fighting is not what this team needs right now, especially from Fielder, who is supposed to be a leader. Parra could have easily been hurt, and that's one of the last things this team needs down the stretch. If you have a problem you don't use physical force on a teammate to solve it.

Prince has been known for his temper in his time with the Brewers. This isn't the first time he's shown a lot of emotion. Showing emotion, or trying to motivate someone is no excuse for attacking them though. I wouldn't mind seeing Prince out of the lineup for a game to teach him a lesson.
