As has been said before - if the Padre pitchers had of only hit Perez
earlier in the game, the "eye for an eye" crap would have been taken
care of.  Unfortunately they Padre pitchers took several innings to
get Perez and gave the incident time to get hotter and hotter.  Perez
was going after Wiggins and you can ask anyone who is close to the game
and they will tell you he was.  The Padres are playing the game of letting
Perez know that he can't get away with it.  They just did a lousy job
of getting that done fast.  

It would be nice if they could have all sat down at a conference table
and intellectualize about bean balls.  But ... you are dealing with
a "less than optimum citizen" in Perez so you have to use force.  I
feel the Padres did what they had to do.
