"If they want to quit competing and forfeit, that's fine, but we're gonna keep competing."
(Davey Johnson on the Cubs, via MASN/postgame interview, 9/6/2012)"That's how we play. We don't quit trying to compete."

Up above, video (via MLB.com) of the 6th inning benches-clearing brawl between the Nats and Cubs. See also: the first benches-clearing incident in which Cubs bench coach Jamie Quirk complained about Jayson Werth swinging at a 3-0 pitch in the 5th inning with the Nats leading by 5, and Bo Porter telling Quirck: "That's how we play the game".
And the brawl, as seen on TV in a series of screencaps. "Interesting night" said Davey...

The Nationals' announcers should be ashamed of themselves. You should have to know somthing about baseball before you are allowed to become an announcer.
