Ah well, at least they do have Don Baylor. I bet he could take down Big Mac...
How about that 80's/90's all-star team of coaches BRAWLING with each other? Kirk Gibson, Alan Trammell, Donnie Baseball, Donnie Baylor, Big Mac! Priceless.
Not gonna lie,

Is Zack Greinke a junk-ball pitcher?
Yesterday, a brawl erupted between the Doyers and the Madres. If you haven't seen it, here it is:
Greinke suffered a broken collarbone in his left (non-pitching) shoulder. First and foremost, I would like to wish him a full recovery, however long it takes. Even if he can't take the mound again until after the Doyers have fallen out of contention, so be it. What's important is that he take his time and make sure he is 100% fully healed before he attempts even a minor league rehabilitation assignment. Greinke shouldn't let his $147 million contract pressure him into attempting to come back too soon and perhaps risk an even greater injury.
Be patient, Zack. Be patient.
That being said, I'd like to take a closer look at the mechanics of the brawl. Due to the hectic nature of the fracas, I'm having trouble pinpointing the precise moment that Greinke breaks his collarbone. I have, however, narrowed it down to two likely moments.
The first is at the very beginning of the brawl, when Greinke throws his best shoulder check at Quentin. Take a look:

Winless in Seattle, or: How I Learned to Stop Player-Hating and Love the BBWAA
Last season, Félix Hernández won the AL Cy Young award. In 249.2 innings he struck out 232 with an ERA of 2.27 and a WHIP of 1.06. And yet, his final win/loss record was 13-12. His 2010 Seattle Mariners finished 61-101 (a .377 win percentage), which was enough to finish dead last in their division and dead last in the entire American League.
