I'm with Mattingly. Quentin's suspension should be tied to Greinke's recovery.

Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
I think they all look like idiots in this case. Quinton for charging, Greinke for hitting him as well as leading with his shoulder when being charged, Kemp for acting like a fool. Why did Hairston get ejected though-looked to me like he was one trying to break things up from the times I saw him in the video.

Did you miss the part where after the initial brawl Hairston went running to the Padres dugout pointing, yelling, and needed to be restrained? He ignited a second fracas.
edit: I think the MLB.com video doesn't show it other than the end of the second one. Watch the ESPN video I linked.

Nope, I didn't see that, why I was asking. Will check that video out, thanks for posting.
Ah, now that watched that one I saw it, didn't mention that in the other videos at all-the ones I saw had Alonso and someone going at it to start part II of the fight. Wonder if there is any video ofthe parking lot incident?

When I broke my collarbone I was in a helluva lot more pain than Greinke looked to be in. But mine was extremely bad. It took me 5 months to fully recover. He didnt look to be in the pain to be out that long
If we set that precedent, are you OK with suspending pitchers for as long as the batters are out when they hit them?
It really bothers me that pitchers think it's OK to stand out there throwing fastballs at guys. It's every bit as dangerous as charging the mound and it certainly isn't baseball.
Everything that can be counted does not necessarily count; everything that counts cannot necessarily be counted.

I find it kind of funny that people here are saying baseball brawls are stupid, idotic, moronic and that players look that way when participating in them.....and yet, I bet everyone in this thread watched it multiple times. :o) Nah, it's not entertaining at all. *grin*
