So, the Dodgers clinched the National League West, which is fairly impressive, considering they were in last place on June 1. This season.

They wrapped up things in Phoenix, beating the Diamondbacks 7-6, and the party was on.

It started on the field, just after the game, and went to the clubhouse, So far, so good. But then it moved to the swimming pool in the bleachers at Chase Field.

And that action — upwards of 20 Dodgers diving into the pool — and analysis of it, has pretty much broken down along partisan lines.

I am no Diamondbacks fan. I find them to be both whiny and aggressive, as the mood strikes them, and Kirk Gibson as a manager is annoying.

But jumping in the Diamondbacks swimming pool?

Yes, that was tacky.

Celebrating in an opponent’s venue is always a bit tricky.

The Dodgers seemed to believe the Diamondbacks didn’t want them celebrating on the field. Because the grass is a mess. Or maybe because it could lead to some ugly scenes if Arizona fans were still in the yard. And they were good about that.

The main celebration always is in the clubhouse, and when you are on the road, you’re trashing someone else’s (visitors) clubhouse — and, let’s be honest, the champagne/beer squirting/pouring pretty much wrecks a room. (Trust me; I’ve been inside a half dozen of those, and it turns a room into a sort of sticky champagne cloud. Probably the whole of the room has to be torn out.)

Anyway, the Dodgers wanted another venue to continue the party.

That is where the swimming pool came in.

Maybe the Dodgers chose it because it had not been ruled out? Because the Diamondbacks may have celebrated in there when they had clinched, in years past?

But it seems more private and personal than does running around on the field where 60 guys were spitting a half-hour earlier.

Those were guys who had played a long game, and then were probably each carrying about two pounds of alcoholic beverages on their uniforms when they went into the pool.

A lot of people are particular about their pools. Not everyone can go in. They spend a lot of money on upkeep and sanitation.

And there went 20-plus sweaty, alcohol drenched men into someone else’s pool.

Let’s put it this way: the D’backs will be draining that pool, spraying it down, and refilling it, before they allow any fans in there.

Not because they want the Dodgers “stink” washed off … because the pool probably tasted like chlorine and cheap champagne.

The Dodgers and Diamondbacks are not friendly, at the moment. The fight that put Zack Greinke on the DL. Lots of throwing at batters. And the D’backs keenly aware that blew a huge lead over the Dodgers and finished miles back in the standings. That burns.

But the Dodgers getting into their pool, without permission, without asking … that was over the line. Yes. It was.

Destroying a clubhouse, the way everyone else celebrates clinching, should have been enough.
