L.A. Dodgers tweets cheeky response to bench-clearing brawl
The tweet, which was shared and favorite thousands of times, has drawn mixed responses. Some are praising it; others are calling it tasteless.
On Thursday night, a brawl interrupted a game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres. It was a nasty affair that started when Dodgers pitcher Zack Greinke hit San Diego Padres slugger Carlos Quentin with a pitch. Both teams’ benches cleared, and Greinke, who signed a contract in the offseason worth $147 million, broke his collarbone in the melee. The pair have a history of bad blood, and they reportedly exchanged heated words in the parking lot after the game.
In the wake of the brawl, the L.A. Dodgers Twitter feed issued this tweet:
See you on Monday in Los Angeles: twitter.com/Dodgers/status…

The message has more than 2,400 retweets and has been favorited more than 6,000 times.
