Dodgers' celebration called "classless"

[KamaAina]

by the D-Bags, true, but nonetheless...

The Arizona Diamondbacks asked the Los Angeles Dodgers not to celebrate winning the NL West on their field. So the Dodgers, after beating the D-backs 7-6 on Thursday for their first division title since 2009, went somewhere else to celebrate. The pool at Chase Field.

A pack of Dodgers — Matt Kemp, Hanley Ramirez, Yasiel Puig, Juan Uribe, Skip Schumaker, Adrian Gonzalez, Kenley Jansen and Michael Young, among them — dashed out to the pool after the win, splashing around like Little Leaguers after a pizza party.

These two teams, of course, have history. You can be sure that brawl from June hasn't been forgotten by either club. And this little jaunt to the pool? How will it go over? Kirk Gibson didn't come out with a pool noodle and a water gun to join the fun, if that's what you're wondering.

In fact, it sounds like D-backs players, fans and even the local media weren't too happy about how the Dodgers decided to celebrate.

edit: None of this would have happened if the D-Bags didn't have a freakin' pool.

1. I like that nickname

The D-Bags.

I gotta use that around someone wearing D-Bags attire

2. Hey! I thought you were a Ginats fan?

Classless? No. It was just a little fun, after all of the fans had left the stadium.

3. You really expect me to feature a Giants avatar in public at this point?

Thank goodness I live in a real metropolitan area. That way there's a decent chance we'll have one major league team every season.

4. Nice post, El Supremo!!

[KamaAina]

5. Actually, El has stuck it out with his Rangers avvie so far.

They still stand a decent chance of making it to the AL $elig Bowl. Besides, how can you not love a team once owned by George W. Bush?

edit: Don't you also have a favorite AL team? From Maryland, I believe?

[madinmaryland]

6. I wouldn't call it a favourite. I just wanted to see a Pittsburgh-Baltimore World Series, so that

the Pirates could kick the Orioles asses once again!!

[KamaAina]

8. You could always switch over to the Indians.

They're in the hunt for the $elig Bowl as well.

[madinmaryland]

9. No. Sorry, but I cannot route for the Junior Circuit, because they have defiled the rules of

traditional baseball by adopting the designated hitter rule. ABSOLUTE BLASPHEMY!!

[Auggie]

7. If the fans have left the stadium it's not so bad ...

reminds me of T.O. and the Dallas star.

[madinmaryland]

10. If TO had done that an hour after the game, who the fuck would have cared.

El Supremo must be taking his afternoon siesta, because I figured he would be the first in with that one!

11. If you don't want someone to celebrate on your field, don't lose to them. n/t

12. Here is the video (pretty fucking funny)...

13. Now they've done it! They've pissed off McLame!

The Los Angeles Dodgers' celebratory dip in the Arizona Diamondbacks' pool after clinching the NL West on Thursday isn't just the talk of the baseball world. It's got even one of the country's most famous politicians fuming.

John McCain — the Arizona senator and 2008 presidential candidate — blasted the Dodgers on Friday via Twitter, saying much the same thing that many Diamondbacks fans were saying Thursday. Although, "spoiled brats" is particularly delicious.

John McCain ✔ @SenJohnMcCain

No-class act by a bunch of overpaid, immature, arrogant, spoiled brats! "The #Dodgers are idiots" http://www.azcentral.com/insiders/danbickley/2013/09/19/the-dodgers-are-idiots/ …

The Dodgers are idiots

Not to paint with broad strokes, but the Dodgers are idiots. Yasiel Puig thought it OK to blow off a Diamondbacks legend in his own ballpark, and everyone in Dodger Blue covered for him. A handful of...

Maybe now he'll call for military action against Dodger Stadium. That might make me rethink my antiwar stance!

15. Well, if it ticks off Poopy Pants Grandpa...

I say they jump into the pool again tonight!

[frylock]

14. oh boo hoo hoo..

at least Brandon McCarthy gets it:

Celebrating is fun. I don't care how and where you do it. Only thing to care about is what we need to do to celebrate in our pool next year.

16. #POoLITICS

Senator McComplain knows a thing or two about coming in second and watching someone take a plunge in the pool (I mean poll) #POoLITICS

17. I think the entire pool should be scrubbed, sterilized and disinfected ...

[trumad]

21. Auggie you're tooooo much

[Jamaal510]

18. They should

be flattered that the players from other teams want to celebrate in their pool.

[BootinUp]

19. Sour Grapes anyone?

[Iggo]

22. Yeah, whatever.

See you next year, D-Backs, when I'm sure you'll equate throwing a baseball at someone's head with swimming in one's pool uninvited.
