No argument here, Carpenter is a whiny asshat. In defense of him, the only problem he has started with the teams you mentioned is none of them. Phillips called the Cardinals bitches and the fight wasn't even a game he was pitching, nothing has come of him and the Cubs (he actually diffused some stuff back in the day with Sosa after Zambrano had his blowup with Edmonds), and Morgan - sorry, T Plush was the one running his mouth the whole game (seriously man, it's on video after his double.) I'd say the situation never happens if Morgan - sorry, T Plush handles being struck out late in a tight game like an upstanding youth league hockey player would instead of screaming immediately and throwing a mouthful of chewing tobacco. I have no idea why you keep mentioning his hockey days. At all. After striking out Morgan he said "F-- you" and Carpenter turned around. Morgan yelled back to him "F you, p--" to Carpenter. And he tossed his chew in his direction. Carpenter was turned around and Morgan starred him down and began walking back to the dugout. Pujols or "Alberta" as Morgan would call him decided to run towards him like he was involved. So Morgan said "F you to" to Alberta. The fact that Alberta got involved confuses me as Molina (who we all know has a short temper as it is) was standing by Morgan and didn't say anything to him. Yes Morgan does talk a lot. He has his whole career. So why now is it such a big deal? Is he the only baseball player to ever talk crap during a game? Is this breaking the so called "un-written rules" of baseball that baseball Jesus Albert Pujols and Tony LaRussa hold so sacred their hearts? Like how according to LaRussa your not allowed to pitch inside to Pujols? Or that the lights at Miller Park are changed from when the Brewers hit and when the visiting team hits? Or is it the fact that the Brewers are stealing signs? Alright, this is getting dumb. Morgan was chirping after his double, that's plain to see. Carpenter struck him out and chirped back in the 9th (I guess. I still don't know how he could have said anything before Morgan starting talking, but for your sake I'll say he did). Instead of taking it Morgan immediately started running his mouth, walked down the line instead of to the dugout and threw a mouthful of chew in Carpenters direction. Then Pujols came in. Look, there's a reason it's you against the world (Cards fans, Cubs fans, the entire media) here. It's obvious to everyone that this is on Morgan. His talking isn't just now a big deal. He's been outcast despite being a decent player from teams going nowhere and has been criticized as a dirty player before. I understand he's a guy on your team, but it's pretty obvious that he's a total ass.
