Why would they think Zack Greinke throwing a baseball at Carlos Quentin and igniting a fight that would lead to a broken collar bone and eventually a suspension would be a good punchline for a Valentine's card? You don't literally need a punch in a punchline.
I keep staring at it and wondering if I'm missing something. I mean, maybe if at some point in the fight they accidentally kissed, but I'm pretty confident that that didn't happen. I don't get it. I am fairly certain it's not funny, even in a non-politically correct sort of way. It also lacks a level of sexiness, what with Greinke's rear end front and center. So what's it doing on a Valentine?
I feel bad for the intern that probably posted it. People are without a doubt going to get (or act) offended and (s)he will get into a butt load of trouble. I'm just imagining if we had posted this fake card. It'd be another Valentine's Day Massacre. I don't even want to think about it, it makes me nauseous. Then again, the Dodgers posted a veiled threat aimed at the Padres in a Ron Burgundy tweet immediately after the fight, so maybe everyone will just agree it's hilarious. It's hard to say how the internet reacts to these types of things.
UPDATE:
As I'm writing this the tweet was deleted. Let's pretend it never happened. Here's a screen cap, so we know what to forget:
