    Go read both Dusty and Rolen's quotes. There is more to it than what you saw.

    Out of all the noise why would the umpire immediately turn and point right to Carpenter when he was trying to separate the two groups.

    Something just doesn't jive.

    Then isn't reasonable to assume that Carpenter knew of it? You could see in the video he was hanging around dying to say something to Dusty. He reignited a fire that was on the verge of being extinguished. If Cueto gets 10 days, Carpenter gets five.

    I'm not buying that it was just regular profanity.
    Bingo!

    Carpenter clearly was the cause of the second push.

    If you assume Carpenter was throwing racial slurs around then I'll assume Dusty made death threats and Brandon Phillips threatened to send terrorists to Busch Stadium.

    Yup, the logic is pretty sound for all three.

    I'm not assuming Carpenter was using racial slurs. I am assuming he hurled something more than the standard expletive Dusty's way.

    Ok, so what do you mean by that then?

    Dusty has a reputation for being a hothead. I'm not saying anything is his fault but it shouldn't be shocking to anyone that Dusty would be really mad in a situation like that. It would have been very surprising if he remained calm IMO

    Dusty Baker clearly over reacted to a professional ball players classy comments.

    That goes both ways

    The Cardinals clearly over reacted to a professional ball player's classy comments.

    I'm not concerned with how Dusty reacted.

    It is the reaction of the umpire and nearly every other Red on the field once Carpenter made his statement to Dusty that tells me it is more than just an expletive.

    Cueto gets suspended for 10 games for kicking 2 players causing one of them to get stitches and Carpenter should get 5 for running his mouth? By that logic Phillips should get 5 games as well for running his mouth too.

    And yes, it is just an unwritten rule. Baker was barking at Oquendo and TLR got pissed and told him not to talk to his coaches, but to him.

    The only realistic action is for everyone to get fines and Cueto to get suspended. Running your mouth is one thing, violence is another.

    And he very well may.

    You didn't answer my first question though, what do you mean when you say that what Carpenter said was 'more than just an expletive'?

    I am glad to know that you aren't calling Carpenter a racist at least, that would be utterly ridiculous with zero proof. But what else is left?

    I dunno, maybe he said something about sweat bands or toothpicks?

    Just because there is evidence that Carpenter yelled something particularly harsh to Dusty doesn't mean I have to know what it is.

    You've been implying that used a racial slur.
