Top 12 takeaways from the Jimenez vs. Tulowitzki Feud

12) Whenever two guys get into each other like this, you have to wonder which one has the closet issues

11) On the plus side, it actually got people to remember that the Rockies and Indians exist

10) Some day, the bad blood between these two historic rivals will fade, but clearly, not today

9) Jim Tracy called it the most gutless thing he's seen in 35 years, which is saying something, seeing how he used to draw a salary from Frank and Jamie McCourt

8) Jimenez claimed it was an accident, in that his aim really isn't all that good anymore

7) It's clearly Tulo's fault that Ubaldo didn't get an extension when they were teammates in Colorado, mostly because Jimenez is dumb enough to get suspended in spring training

6) This totally takes the Rockies' expected win total down to 72, from 75

5) Somehow, no one is talking about the Indians winning the game, which would also be the case if this happened in the regular season

4) There were no punches or ejections, which is to say, it was the ugliest fight in baseball in years

3) Tracy says he's now lost all respect for Jimenez, as if he ever had any for a guy named, well, Ubaldo

2) If these two teams meet in the World Series, this incident will prove to be the spark... that meant the Mayans were right about the world coming to an end

1) There are at least 100 guys who drafted in fantasy leagues this weekend who got both of these guys on their team, and all of them are ready to tell you how their teams are doomed, doomed, doomed I tell you, doomed
