Peavy-Duncan II?

We all remember where we were when the truly momentous events occurred. The Kennedy assassination. Neil Armstrong becomes the first man to walk on the moon. The death of Anna Nicole Smith ...
And, of course, the Jake Peavy-Mariano Duncan shouting match.
It was during the heat of the pennant race last September at Dodger Stadium, when Jake the Fake went nuts and inexplicably turned his attention to the first base coach of the Dodgers. That was the night the Dodgers staged a big comeback for an 11-10 win and it was a signature game in what turned out to be an 11-14 season for Jake the Fake.
Not only did Peavy shout and gesture at Duncan but after the game, when explaining the incident to reporters, Jake the Fake apparently mimicked Duncan's Dominican accent and challenged him to come to San Diego Fight Club to "settle it there."
Hmm, if Peavy were a radio-TV talk show host, a racist bit like that might have gotten him in hot water. But since San Diego is a sleepy town, nothing was ever made of Jake the Fake's offensive caricature of Duncan.
Now it's a new season and we can't wait to see another possible Peavy-Duncan encounter as the Padres return to the scene of the brouhaha for a weekend series that starts Friday. Jake the Fake is scheduled to pitch Saturday's game.
We don't care how many hits Adrian Gonzalez has this weekend; we don't care how many RBIs Nomar Garciaparra gets; we just want to see Jake the Fake and Mariano Duncan go at it again.
Baseball is only interesting when the benches clear.
