"It's not a big deal. For eight months a year, we're a family, and at times things happen. Tempers flare up. But it's within the family, and it's a little bit rude when your neighbors are fighting next door for you to go over and ask what happened. ... It's nobody's business what happened." — Milwaukee manager Ted Yost, after a shoving match between first baseman Prince Fielder and pitcher Manny Parra.
Ted, I understand your position — anything embarrassing that happens within, you’d like to keep it, well, within. But this happened in public, in front of fans — they’re the ones who pay the salaries of players and managers, Ted — and even in an incident as brief as this, they and the press, whom they read, have a right to ask about it and get some answers. Feel free to lie, though; players and managers do it all the all the time and we’re used to it.
