It always amazes me how some people's minds go "Well, Im mad so I am going to go make an ass of myself"

Thank god for the internets, cause now he gets to be remembered as being an ass for the rest of his life and beyond.

Lou Pinella must be laughing his head off.

Lou is the king of tantrums, and that minor league manager surpassed anything Lou has ever done.

Apropos, Pinella was suspended indefinitely after his latest tantrum this weekend. Guess he felt a little threatened.

Hell, managers going off is part of the game. Just sit back and enjoy.

After watching this, there are probably several thousand people in the world that are saying to themselves.. "I guess my issues aren't that big after all..."

it's part of the culture of baseball. but yeah, some take it way further than others.

Resolute 14 · 06-04-2007, 10:23 AM

No kidding. Remember some of the shouting matches Earl Weaver got into with umpires?

Azure · 06-04-2007, 10:56 AM

Lou Pinella is the best at these tantrums.

Anyways, up till now I thought so.

Burninator · 06-04-2007, 11:03 AM

One thing I never understood about managers/coaches yelling at umpires is they always get kicked out. When they leave the dugout and are two inches from the umpires face they are kicked out in about 3 seconds. Why do they even bother. And why is baseball so strict? I've seen hockey coaches scream a lot at the refs. Screaming that would get you kicked out of a baseball game 10 times over.

Azure · 06-04-2007, 11:26 AM

You mean Brian Murry and Lindy Ruff would be in baseball HOF for how much they scream.

hahah at the grenade... classic.

Sylvanfan · 06-05-2007, 09:38 AM

Yeah, I saw this yesterday, and that guy should be checked out for sanity. I mean managing Baseball in the minors likely would make you loopy after a while but this whole schtick is quite a act. Doing like a dog and burrying home plate and than drawing his own. Than the whole grenade thing at the pitching mound? Of course lost in that is the tossing of the bases which always brings great things, too bad he forgot about first. But the drawling to the mound and tossing the rosin bag, like WDF??
