McDowell is accused of asking three Giants fans in the stands, "Are you a homo couple or a threesome?" He is accused of using two fingers and the small end of a baseball bat to simulate sexual intercourse, among other lewd comments and gestures, including thrusting his hips back and forth in a sexual manner.

Allred said McDowell called back: "Kids don't [expletive] belong at the baseball park." She said McDowell picked up a bat and walked toward Quinn in a threatening manner, asking: "How much are your teeth worth?"
 
I was all excited to see if we'd get over .500 today but we have the day off. Boooo.

Just looked at the standings from the NL East.. they're playing solid ball this season so far.

He will probably have a fine, suspension, and sensitivity training. Fans are already talking about Leo Mazzone coming back but he has a radio show and a contract. The only thing I can think is that McDowell was hung over or intoxicated. The Braves will probably bring up a AAA pitching coach while McDowell is out

The high-profile attorney sent letters to Selig and the Braves demanding a fine, suspension and an apology from McDowell. Allred said McDowell should be required to undergo sensitivity training.

"There has to be accountability," she told the AJC. Quinn hinted that he may pursue legal action against McDowell.

McDowell was hired by the Braves in 2005 to replace longtime pitching coach Leo Mazzone. Known as a practical jokester while a player, he appeared on a memorable episode of the hit TV series "Seinfeld."

Edit: McDowell was the second spitter in "The Magic Loogie-Part 2":
Newman.: Wow, it was McDowell.
Jerry: But why? Why McDowell?
Kramer: Well, maybe because we were sitting in the right field stands cursing at him in the bullpen all game.
Newman: He must have caught a glimpse of us when I poured that beer on his head.

This is my 1st time watching Pineda, seems like I picked the right game, goddamn.

And I lol'd at the Murphy comment, but I'm definitely glad they're beating the sucky teams.

Yep. No bench at all. The guys they have called up are less than replacement level. Nothing is working.

They better get their shit together and get close to .500 before Mauer & Nishioka are back or they're sunk.
 
Braves pitchers would riot if they fired McDowell. Everyone loves him. I remember they asked Hudson about him after he came on when Mazzone left. He said, "It's great. We actually get work done now."
 
McDowell apologizes for remarks:

Atlanta Braves pitching coach Roger McDowell apologized Wednesday for a confrontation with heckling Giants fans in San Francisco after one witness recounted that McDowell had let loose with a stream of homophobic remarks and threats.

The witness, Justin Quinn of Fresno, filed a police report after the Saturday incident at AT&T Park. On Wednesday, he appeared at a press conference at the Los Angeles office of celebrity attorney Gloria Allred, who demanded that McDowell apologize.

McDowell soon did just that, saying in a statement released by the Braves, "I am deeply sorry that I responded to the heckling fans in San Francisco on Saturday. I apologize to everyone for my actions."

A San Francisco police spokesman said the department is looking into whether to seek criminal charges. Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig called the accusations "very troubling," and said he would decide what to do after the Braves completed an investigation.

For their part, the Braves also released a statement, saying, "This in no way represents the Braves organization and the conduct we expect of our employees."

Quinn, 33, who describes himself online as a private coach and mentor, an environmental researcher and the host of a radio show on motocross, had tried to get his story out earlier, according to his Twitter account. He wrote on Sunday: "@ESPNdesk Please email me. I have a huge MLB story."

At the press conference, Allred said the dispute broke out while Quinn, his wife and his 9-year-old twin daughters watched batting practice from the stands.

According to Allred's account, McDowell first said to three other men in the bleachers, "Are you guys a homo couple or a threesome?" McDowell, she said, then simulated a sex act using a baseball bat and, while thrusting his hips, asked, "Are you three giving it to each other up the a-?."

Quinn shouted, "Hey, there are kids out here," Allred said, adding, "The coach replied, 'Kids don't f- belong at the baseball park.'

"The coach then picked up his bat," Allred said, "and started walking in a threatening manner toward Mr. Quinn, saying to him, 'How much are your teeth worth?' "

Allred released written statements from Quinn and his daughters, Taylor and Kylynn, expressing their disgust at the incident.

"Usually kids look up to major league baseball players and coaches and kids should be able to enjoy major league baseball games," Taylor wrote.

McDowell, who took his job with the Braves in 2006, pitched in the big leagues for 12 years and won Game 7 of the 1986 World Series for the Mets. According to a 2006 profile in the Toledo Blade, he is a notorious prankster who set off firecrackers in the dugout, lit teammates' cleats on fire and once had a cameo on TV's "Seinfeld."

Gardenhire after yesterday's Twins loss to Tampa:
"We didn't pitch. Our lineup didn't do anything, but our pitching got us behind 7-1 in the fourth inning, you understand? Our pitching got us behind, and that had nothing to do with our lineup." — Manager Ron Gardenhire, after Wednesday's 8-2 loss to Tampa Bay.

Seems like a defensive statement. Not going well for him.

I would have bet on the White Sox and Twins being 1-2 in that Central division. Not the Indians-Tigers.

Just chucking Liriano under the bus (not that he doesn't deserve it).

Cool. What will they do when Gearrin inevitably has a disastrous inning?
