Overpaid, immature, arrogant, spoiled brats

Senator John McCain calls the Dodgers ‘overpaid, immature, arrogant, spoiled brats’ after pool celebration

[HBMike]

I can't believe this is even an issue. If the Ddacks didn't want them to swim in the pool, win the game.

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

[Tank]

if you're building a swimming pool inside a ballpark, you don't really have a lot to criticize about others.

[Adam]

McCain has funny arm movements

[DW711]

Ok, they probably shouldn't have done it but it's not that big of a deal.

[eaterfan]

I hate to agree with McCain here, but if you are going to swim in the pool after an athletic event it is pretty classless to not at least rinse off first.

[Mudville]

What is with the Douchebacks organization getting so butt hurt about opposing teams and their fans. This is same organization that forced Dodgers fans, that spent huge money for dugout seating behind home plate, to wear Douchebacks gear or get ousted from the stadium.

Now they go all out Kinsler and tell them to get off their field after winning their first division in years. Followed by the Senior Senile Senator from Arizona acting like life guard and blowing the whistle on pool frolicking. What next McCain, bombing Chavez Ravine to teach them a lesson?

I hope Puig pissed in the pool staining it so badly they have no choice but to drain it and have it acid washed.

I hope for the diamondbacks' own good that they don't win the division in LA next year. Dodger fans and their shanks will do what they do

[tdawg87]

The Dbacks are the only ones acting classless here. Now if one of them took a dump in the pool then I might see a cause for concern but it really isn't that big of a deal.

Here's an idea: If you don't want the other team celebrating on your field, beat them so they can't. Don't ask them to not celebrate and then get all pissy when they do.

I'm sure none of you would have a problem if the A's clinch at the Big A next week and celebrate by climbing on the rocks.

[Angel Oracle]

This coming from a FORMER presidential candidate who teamed up with the lady, who had to be coached on who the AXIS countries were in WWII, to form maybe the WORST presidential ticket in a long time.

I would laugh when one them slips and falls. No, I wouldn't have a problem with it.

I think it would be pretty funny, actually. The rocks suck ass. Also this team kinda deserves it after the year they've had.

I get what you are saying though.

Going for the obvious joke here:

 

Is he talking about the Dodgers or Congress?

Classless is really the wrong word here.  It's more about respect, and the Dodgers obviously showed very little for the D-Backs.  This would be equivalent to the Rangers jumping the wall in Anaheim and climbing up and down the rocks.  I doubt people here would just shrug it off.

 

With that said, I'm sure the incidents with Kennedy had a lot to do with this celebration and I wouldn't blame the Dodgers if that was their motivation.

[Angels Never Die]

As far as I'm concerned, the dbacks organization egged them on.

[Jimmag]

I agree with Angels Never Die.

[red321]

Is it a big deal? Not really. Classless on the Dodgers part...yeah. As someone mentioned, it would be like jumping over the wall and throwing a party along the CF concourse...or if you win at poker trashing some guys front yard and shitting on his couch in celebration. It's not their house, they could have celebrated in the locker room and come out to greet some fans. It's not like they won the friggen world series.

 

The way this place reacts when someone showboats a homerun...yeah, don't really think folks wouldn't be up in arms

[katie]

I like what Brandon McCarthy had to say about it.

Well they didn't celebrate on the field...

[AngelsLakersFan]

I don't think the Angels would've instructed the A's before hand that they weren't allowed to celebrate on the field...

[tennischmp]

I don't think the Angels would've instructed the A's before hand that they weren't allowed to celebrate on the field...

The Diamondbacks told them they could celebrate on the field at first which they did, but once they got to the clubhouse to stay there and celebrate there and not to come back out onto the field. So they did allow them to celebrate on the field.

I don't like what the Dodgers did at all.  That being said, I'm thinking a member of Congress should never, ever complain about other people being overpaid.
