Baseball Coach's Fit

HRCalico

Anybody else see the Rockies' farm team coach get booted? The video that went on, and on, and on, and then I read that after all that, he piled a bunch of stuff in front of the ump's locker room on his way out. I haven't seen the likes of a tantrum like that since I last spent time with my niece that is in her terrible twos! If I were in charge over there, I'd probably proceed directly to termination. But of course, they didn't ask me.

It seems coaches throwing tantrums over calls the umps make is all part of the show. This guy put on quite a show.

I thought it funny that their bat boy couldn't tell when it was safe to go pick up the bats that the coach was throwing out onto the field cause they just kept on comin'.
Granted it was a bit ridiculous going on the way he did for so long. Maybe he was trying to get his team "fired-up" by carrying on as he did.
Not much of a leadership example for our youth...

That's our hometown hero! The locals have taken up a collection to help him pay his fine. Screw Cannon Beach and their little article. Asheville's on the map baby!

HRCalico

OK, I'm lost. What does Cannon Beach have to do with it?

Paul had posted the article listing Canon Beach as the #1 beach in the US.

HRCalico

Thanks for filling me in. I'm always a little behind. :>)

I think all of America saw that. We also saw him deny that he needed an anger management class. I have to agree, if I had on tape one of my employees acting like that, they'd be out of here so fast ...x:o (Letter o)

Smace, why am I not suprised that coach was from your hometown?

I accept your challenge. Cannon Beach could kick your Asheville any day of the week.

We have art, food, music, a huge rock, cranky locals, and puffins.

HRCalico

Puffins? OH - the birds?

By the way, if you haven't seen this baseball coach throw his tantrum, here is the video:

It's pretty funny actually. My favorite part is when he slams the water bottle to the ground. My three year old could show him a few tricks though.

Smace, I think your town might win the "Colorful Characters" section of our Town vs. Town showdown.

Thanks Paul. He was acting pretty childish alrighty.

Do you mean Smace or the baseball coach?

This guy will be fitting replacement for Ron Gardenhire of the Twins who has been tossed pretty regularly.
