Jake the Fake

Jake Peavy's shouting match with Dodgers first base coach Mariano Duncan nearly got lost amid the historic finish of the Padres' 11-10 Heimlich special Monday night.
But we didn't forget about it here at Minor-League Town.
As Peavy walked off the mound at the end of the first inning, Duncan told Peavy, "We're gonna get your (expletive), you stupid cocky (expletive)." Peavy turned back toward Duncan and acted like a tough guy, but he made sure he stalled long enough to allow teammate Russell Branyan to restrain him.
Later, Peavy told the San Diego Union-Tribune -- while apparently mimicking Duncan's Dominican accent -- that he didn't know who Duncan was. And since he's from Alabama, we're guessing there are a lot of things Peavy doesn't know.
But when you're the alleged ace of your pitching staff and your record is 9-14, you've got more important things to worry about than the identity of the guy munching sunflower seeds in the first base coaching box
