I don't really understand though why stealing 2 bases is a problem though. I know being down 10 runs, you rarely steal, b/c you need as many runs as possible to get back into it. However, you are down and if you can steal go for it. Now, he did slide HARD into both bags.

So to get plunked again, i don't know that i blame him for going out. All of the other taunting afterwards is stupid.

Ironically I actually completely agree with Dibble on this one. As a teenager Morgan was basically on the verge of becoming an NHL defender but he realized he wasn't getting much bigger so he decided to switch to baseball, but I think he still has some of that hockey player mentality.

Like InsaneBoost said, I love Riggleman's comments after the game. He might not be the best manager out there but I feel like you have to respect him. Also, I like that Slaten later popped Gabby Sanchez in retaliation for clothes-lining Morgan. I know Sanchez was standing up for his pitcher but he came in a with a big time sucker punch. Actually, I feel like the umps brought that on themselves by not tossing Sanchez right after the brawl.
