To be fair to Prince, I'm sure every Brewers fan has wanted to punch Guillermo Mota at some point. ;)

 

Ironically, this happened one year (to the day) after Prince and Manny Parra had their little slapfight in the Cincinnati dugout last season. Latest news that no one's getting suspended, but Mota and Fielder both get undisclosed fines. It seems kind of weird that the speculation is that if Fielder would've gone after Mota on the field, he would've been suspended, but doing it "behind the scenes" (even though a camera was present) likely aided him in avoiding the suspension. It doesn't make that much sense to me, but the league's always given out automatic suspensions for on-field fights.

 

As far as being quiet lately, I've barely been able to keep up with my team the past few weeks, let alone the Cubs. It's nice to see the Cubs finally starting to play up to their talent level, even if it's at the expense of the Brewers. I'm probably a little biased, but I don't think the Brewers are quite out of it yet. They have a ton of head-to-head games against the Cubs and Cards in September, and finish August with series @ HOU, vs. SD, vs. HOU, @ PIT, @ WAS, vs. CIN, and vs. PIT.

 

Of course, I'd feel a lot better about that soft stretch if they didn't spend the past couple weeks splitting series against the Nationals and losing series to the Pirates and Padres, but a guy can dream. I'm fully expecting the standings to ultimately end up the way they are now, but I do think the Brewers will be in the race long enough that I can avoid watching the trainwreck that's going to be the Packers trying to run a 3-4 for the first couple weeks of the NFL season. :)
