Not even Prince Fielder really knows what he might have done if a phalanx of security guards and teammates hadn't prevented the furious Milwaukee Brewers slugger from entering the Los Angeles Dodgers clubhouse after a ninth-inning beaning. <!-- TINS Version 0.1 Wed Aug 05 12:59:38 EDT 2009 --><TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=195 align=left border=0><TBODY><TR><TD width=180 bgColor=#000066><TABLE cellSpacing=1 cellPadding=3 width=180 border=0><TBODY><TR bgColor=#000066><TD>[FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica]COMMENTARY [/FONT]</TD></TR><TR bgColor=#ffffee><TD>

And nobody is sure how the Brewers and the Dodgers will react in Wednesday's season finale after Los Angeles' impressive 17-4 victory Tuesday night degenerated into retaliation, recrimination and a regrettable charge through the Dodger Stadium tunnels by the Brewers' All-Star first baseman.
The trouble started when Manny Ramirez was hit by a pitch in the seventh while Los Angeles had a nine-run lead, but it didn't boil over until Guillermo Mota was ejected for drilling Fielder with two outs in the ninth. Dodgers catcher Russell Martin acknowledged it was a response to Chris Smith hitting Ramirez with what appeared to be a much less purposeful pitch.
"Looks like the Milwaukee Brewers will get the last laugh and win 2 of 3 in the series."
