Don’t take it out on the necks, son
I know I am a couple of days late on this story, but I just read it and couldn’t believe it. Reportedly, former Phillies General Manager and current Houston Astros GM Ed Wade was involved in an altercation the other day with one of his players. The article says that pitcher Shawn Chacon grabbed Wade by the neck and threw him to a ground during an argument, and the team suspended Chacon indefinitely for insubordination. As a Phillies fan who was not a fan of Ed Wade, I couldn’t help but laugh at the thought of someone finally getting so annoyed he picked up the smug little underqualified baseball executive.
Although what Chacon did was wrong and it probably killed his career, it was an interesting note to read about. Of course I am sure soon we will hear Wade’s side of the story.
