Prince Fielder Loses Temper After Dodgers Game
What was Brewers first baseman Prince Fielder thinking as he stormed the Dodgers clubhouse after the game Tuesday night? He totally lost his cool after being hit by a pitch thrown by reliever Guillermo Mota. Several of his teammates followed him to try and diffuse the situation but he ultimately had to be restrained by security guards to prevent him from entering. What's up with that? Was he going to "beat up" Mota for hitting him with a pitch?
You gotta love a player who plays with heart but, come on. What would have happened had he been allowed to enter the clubhouse? Did he give that a thought? After Brewers reliever Chris Smith hit Manny Ramirez with a pitch in the seventh inning, being the victim of retaliation was on Fielder's mind.
"He was trying to throw a cutter and it just missed," Fielder said sarcastically of Mota's pitch that left a large welt and led to the reliever's ejection.
Said Dodgers catcher Russell Martin, he preferred "stuff to be taken care of on the field," but he liked the Dodgers' chances had Fielder entered the clubhouse.

Love it.
Better question, what the hell is Mota doing throwing a retaliation pitch in the 9th with two outs and a 17-4 lead? He deserved to get his butt kicked.
I wish Prince had gotten through to the locker room. Nobody on the dodgers could take him now that Manny stopped juicing. :)
This was the funniest story I saw all night next to Mets collapsing in the 9th again.
There were two Dodger players HBP, one in the 7th and one in the eighth inning.
This makes it a little bit of a different story why Fielder got plunked.
Hey la, hey, Halo...
