Matt Capps threw at Prince's head in 2007.

Ryan had the nerve to be happy about a pennant race changing grand slam in 2008.

Jeff Karstens plunked Ryan in 2009 and Ryan mouthed off about it a bit after the game.

And yeah, there was that lengthy win streak over PIT, then a lengthy home win streak over PIT.

I seem to remember something with Prince running over the catcher, I believe, the night before the Capps throwing at his head game. I think they felt it was unnecessary, which is why they threw at him the next day. I think both games were come from behind wins. Looking at the schedule it may have been Aug 31 of '07, if someone wants to fact check.

I'm pretty sure it was actually earlier in the year: late April, early May-ish. It was a weekend series, and Capps plunked Fielder immediately after JJ homered on Saturday, and then when Prince scored the winning run on Sunday, he was extremely pumped, and kind of got in Capps face, who had been pitching.

 

IIRC that's pretty much what started this mess, and since then we've had drama with Karstens/Braun, Kerwin/Kendall, Weeks/Cedeno. You think absolutely owning a team for 5 years may have something to do with it?
