Mike Wilner, who is part of The Fan 590 broadcasting crew, has been assigned to house arrest by his radio station over a series of disagreements and criticism of Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston.

...

In his most recent meeting with Gaston before the Tampa game during the pre-game scrum, Wilner was asking the manager pointed questions regarding his use of the bullpen in Tuesday’s ugly loss.

Wilner clearly was getting under Gaston’s skin and the manager did a slow burn while giving short curt answers to his questions.
In his blog, Wilner wrote that Gaston had “belittled” him in front of other reporters.

In his blog entry posted after Wednesday night's game, Wilner addressed his confrontation with Gaston: "It's unfortunate that I can't have a legitimate discussion about strategy with the manager without him feeling as though he's being attacked (or at least reacting as though he's being attacked -- I don't know what he was feeling), but such is life.

"I don't need to be belittled by the skipper in front of the entire [media] assemblage when I'm asking legitimate, rational questions about a situation that he brought up earlier in a conversation."
