MLB - 2006 Season! Continued!

I think berating the guy in front of the whole team was bad. I also generally think intentionally hitting a batter is dumb, but it's also pervasive in the game, so that's not on Ozzie.

I think the umps are to trigger happy with the warnings. How many times have you seen this:

A player is HBP, first of the game. Both benches are warned. WTF?

A particularly annoying example of this happened in a Yanks game recently. Posada got hit. I didn't see it, but from what I heard it was a breaking ball that got away and the pitcher who threw it was sucking badly (so, unintentional). Posada went a little nutty (apparently he got hit on the funny bone, which was highly unfun) and the ump warned the teams. RJ then throws high and tight to a batter and is ejected and ultimately suspended.

That's just dumb on so many levels. From Posada overreacting, to RJ feeling compelled to hit a guy (but missing!), to RJ being immediately ejected, to RJ getting suspended (considering he didn't even hit the guy!). Oy.

Yeah... Myers comments at the less than one minute interview were VERY DISTURBING...

''I'm sorry it had to go public. That's it. Of course, it's embarrassing. My teammates have been behind me,'' Myers said. ''I felt fine. Obviously my pitch count was up.''

What a moron... he's concerned that it was made public, not the fact that he beats her...

And yeah Sava... I heard that line beat some men line as well... and had to chuckle.

''I'm sorry it had to go public. That's it. Of course, it's embarrassing.

Talk about not recognizing the problem, eh? F'in TRASH.

Yep... he's embarrassed, and she's beat to a pulp...

Hey Guy, what do you think about the rumors of a trade for Smoltz?

ACK!

Not only no, but **** no!

He's an *******, but at some point, you have to blame his wife for staying with an ******* like that. Come on woman, leave the guy.

Speaking of guys like that, one of my cousins got back together with an ex-boyfriend who pulled a knife on her father (my uncle). This guy also took the knife and scratched my cousin's car with it.

Yeah... I don't understand why girls go back to guys like that. Maybe they honestly believe they will change.

Or they could be scared that if they leave, the guy will find 'em and do something worse.

I haven't heard THAT much about Myers' assault, but most of what I did hear was that he was trying to go back to the hotel, and she wanted to stay out and drink more ...

Maybe it's more complex than it seems?

Oh, and I'm thinking he was right, that they had stayed out and drunk too much already ...

trying to ignore how pathetic my cards are playing lately...

I hope everyone has seenthis video on the minor league manager flipping out. Great stuff

Yeah... maybe more complex than it seems... However, witnesses claim he was dragging her by the hair, after hitting her in the face with a closed fist... I think there are better ways to convince your wife that she's had too much to drink and needs to go home...

meh

too many hoops to jump through to get the video to play

though, from the pic, it looks like it was a good tirade!

He had a base in his hand and a vein popping out of his neck!

The one that always brings a grin to my face is one from a few years back by Lloyd McClendon. I think I will always remember him marching off the field with the base tucked under his arm. "If you're not going to use it, I might as well take it."

That was only a small part. He started out merely blowing a gasket at one of the umps, then slid into second to "recreate" the play, then ripped up the base, carried it around for a bit, tossed it into the outfield, went back to the dugout and starting throwing bats into the field, went to home plate, kicked dirt on it, then piled it up with his hands, went back to the dugout, got a water bottle so that he could turn his mound of dirt on home plate into mud, mocked the home plate ump by making a few imaginary pitch calls and finally threw his empty water bottle down in disgust. Pretty impressive, all in all.

It's been playing on Sportscenter for the last couple days and has been a 'headline' clip. Totally hilarious .

Don't forget, after all that, he started tossing bats onto the field.

Yep... a truly classic performance.
