absolutely perfect!! It seemed unscripted, but dude totally went with the moment and enlarged the plate, took two bases, launched a "grenade" at the home plate ump, and then blew kisses to the audience as he exited the field thru the outfield wall, not the dugout. Remember that this guy is quite a few rungs down the managerial ladder from Bobby Cox, who just happens to be the future (if not current) leader in ejections all-time....maybe he is lookin to move up! Unbelievable.....you can bet that the rest of the season will be sold out at home for sure.

At first I was amused by it, but I think that they really have to come down hard on this guy. Baseball games just can't continue to get interupted with circus antic tirades such as the one put on by this manager. If he thinks that the umps are horrible, he should yell at them, get tossed then ***** about them to the media. Things like this will damage the game in the future and encourage bad behavior.

The Mississippi Braves issued a 3 game suspension of him on their own. Still wating to see if the SL adds on to it.
Personally it was embarassing. I did the same thing when I was 12 and my mom made me quit the team and would not let me play anything until hoops the next year. That was a brutal suspension.

Better than the price of a movie of show ticket.
Could watch this 1000 times.
He deserves an emy, oscar and what ever other TV awards are issued in a calendar year.

from what I have seen and heard it is despicable and is a discgrace to the game that has given him so much, I am so appauled by the actions taht I will not even take the time to watch the full video clips. Anyone who truely respects the game can not even be amused by such actions.

I think it was staged to get fans to come out to the minor league ball parks.

Classic. His military-style climbing up the mound, tossing of the rosin bag and throwing of the bases was hilarious. Then, to top it all off he blows kisses to the audience.

That was very entertaining, I laughed soo hard. Funny stuff.
But he probably hurt his career with that, may never coach or manage at the major league level now!
Incoming.....rosin bag...funny ****!
