2012/09/06 Tempers flare at Nationals Park

CHC@WSH: Benches clear as Porter, Quirk have words

[@deanoffishing2139]

"we don't want to sound like homers" then spend the next 5 minutes being homers.

[@AaronRnCM]

charging the third base dugout?? wtf?

[@danielobiazor9871]

"really not a wise move 2 walk by urself in2 the other team's dugout barkin at somebody"

[@famguy218]

the nationals broadcasters would've been like "how can bo Porter be ejected?! he did nothing!"

[@defiantone8556]

I pity the guys out in the bullpen. Ever notice by the time they run all the way in, the fight or the bickering back N fourth is usually over. Hell, if I have to run all that way for this shit, there damn well better be somebody to hit. lol

[@RadicalDaveNFriends]

defiantone haha I've always thought that.

[@defiantone8556]

Louis Greubel Yea, at my age I would need one of them there walkers & an oxygen mask just to make it to the infield, so there damn well better be someone to belt with my walker. lol

[@randomtraveler9854]

Then you would be ejected, fined, and suspended. Not to mention it would hurt your reputation.

[@Raiderbob85]

The cubs coach got pissed because Werth swung in a 3-0 count with a 5 run lead.

[@pjg19751]

There's nothing funnier than watching two guys who stunk as players arguing now as coaches. Mike McFarlane's backup catcher vs. a guy with Bob Uecker stats.

[@Mikey114411]

pjg19751 I love when people say crap like this. Stunk as players? They were flippin major leaguers

[@pjg19751]

Yes, they "stunk". Exactly the same thing every man has ever said about your ability to "perform"

[@Mikey114411]

pjg19751​ Major leaguer bro nobody that makes it to the major leagues "stinks". What have you accomplished? Jack shit I'm assuming. Gay joke? Really? Haha

[@silencedknight]

pjg19751 was wondering if you went farther than they did to say that.

[@CaptainCapital8]

I like 1:00 when the pitcher is like: Ooooooooooooh, what's goin' on here?

[@curtysven]

charging the dugout?! he stepped a bit closer so he could communicate, and be heard better!

[@allstar61997]

But the funny thing is by yelling at the bench he bought the pitcher more time

[@defiantone8556]

Stealing signs has gone on for years. If they were to eject someone every time that happened, there wouldn't be enough players to finish the game. lol

[@bensmarzynski8757]

defiantone that’s also part of the game isn’t it

[@97Senator]

The Houston Astros would like a word with you...

[@defiantone8556]

Guess that's what they mean by home field advantage. lol

[@excellentbill69]

Werth ended up hitting a flyout to right field and the Nationals won 9-2

[@Mastahcheech]

You know something is wrong about what happened when the home announcers side with the Cubs. Can't believe they didn't eject the third base coach.

[@Zelinc]

Mastahcheech Those were the Cubs announcers you heard.

[@robertsduriel1]

Bo Porter was fired as Astros Manager yesterday

[@defiantone8556]

Where was the 3rd base umpire in all this?

[@darinlegore284]

out in short left field on line where he belongs

[@ugp301]

one of the cubs coaches was yelling at porter for telling jayson werth to swing on a 3-0 pitch with the bases loaded and a big lead

[@jaydesrochers3276]

Old school I.e real baseball..” skip, they stole our signs .” Skip: “ok drill him the next time up”

[@mikecustenborder3991]

Dump the 3rd base coach too.

[@sirdorkster]

Bro this was 7 years ago lol smh

[@ugp301]

it was last year

[@duckonmyquack]

I love Bo porter. Also 5 runs in the fifth inning isnt 6 in the 6th so cubs on the wrong end of that one.

[@ambigroove]

5 because a 5 run lead in the bottom of the 5th is a "safe" lead?

[@JaySmoothe27]

So as soon as the Cubs' pitching gets destroyed, the broadcasters start mentioning cheating. Lololol the things broadcasters say to cover up bad teams...

[@go1tigers]

If i am in the bullpen no way I running out there to just run back lol

[@AvaPlaya13]

And then your teammates would get on you for not having their backs. What if an actual fight had broken out and you had not been there?

[@go1tigers]

Avery Bass I totally understand what you are saying. My whole thing in all honesty I am waiting for someone to get hurt running full force from the bullpen to the infield.

[@AvaPlaya13]

P. Kelly T None of the pitchers ever run at a dead sprint though. Its almost like an unwritten rule that they have to be there, but not participate. Their arms are so valuable that the coaches would get on them for really jumping in, so 99 times outta 100 both teams just lightly jog in, kinda stand around, then walk back. Sometimes from the same bullpen.

[@defiantone8556]

P. Kelly T Me to. I'm to damn old. Now maybe with a walker or an oxygen mask. On second thought, nah. I'm to damn old. lol

[@jakelakota3010]

I chewed chew. When you chew chew and you chew too much your head gets messed up. I have no idea how these guys can chew chew and still play.

[@shadowbolt518]

chew

[@d1ROG]

do you swallow that junk or something?

[@brookstheump]

You're right, it's a whole lot of nothing going on there. Just let the 2 people fight if they want to, without the benches clearing at all. Even Dusty Baker has said that

[@PADRESCHARGERS4EVER]

Maybe

[@5koe]

What even Happened?

[@stevec6965]

yeah the new logo is wack. Sup? chucky cheese bear.

[@possiblepresent3724]

cubs have to be the worst MLB team in the history

[@Brian211978]

There are teams that haven't won a series ever. And others who haven't been to the playoffs longer

[@bcat010]

Brian211978 But the time that those teams have been around is much shorter than the last time the Cubs won the world series.

[@Brian211978]

Teddy Catnip Still doesn't make it any better when the Mariners have only made 4 playoffs in nearly 40 seasons. Or the Padres 5 times in about 45 seasons!

[@bcat010]

Brian211978 well if were looking at it in that way, the cubs havent had much better success than the other teams. Maybe theyve had more success getting to the postseason, but the majority of their success came from the early 20th century. Last World Series win was 1908, the last time they were even in the world series was 1945. Considering how long the Cubs have existed and how many times they could have gone the distancebut didn't for whatever reason makes them a worse team IMO.

[@EssexAggiegrad2011]

2016 champions

[@AICJDR]

Amen

[@choloshoreseries2010]

2:14 throwing in a nice chew! haha

[@Dippins]

What?! Walgreens won a game!?

[@Sc0uts420]

Yup nl east champions 2 times in the last 3 years what about your team?

[@trustparticlez7234]

Silence.. Lol

[@RadicalDaveNFriends]

Market Two World Series in the last 9 years. #STLCards

[@merrondouglas3536]

What's your problem?

[@CaptainKeithMark]

Bo Porter puts up with no $hit

[@nddavi58]

Cubs are the softest team in baseball . Have u seen their new logo??

[@EssexAggiegrad2011]

2016 champions

[@BillyMinnow]

Someone ran and hid after making this comment....

[@susanguidice4393]

I'

[@defiantone8556]

So what did we learn today? That in baseball, your not allowed to have, what's that thing called again? Oh yea, FREEDOM OF SPEECH. LOL

[@alanhess9306]

defiantone, obviously you have no clue about what "FREEDOM OF SPEECH" means.

[@5koe]

Actually, I think He just wanted some attention considering he's the third base coach, am i right?

[@sportsygirl8]

Didn't something like this happen this year with the Yankees and Orioles? Buck Showalter thought Joe Gardi and the 3rd base coach were stealing signs and Chris Stewart tried to play peace maker?

[@il-sungkim9096]

"They must be cheating, they're doing so well!" We get it. Your team sucks. We're Nationals fans, and your the Cubs, damnit! We both know about crappy teams.
