Idiot Manager

Bobby Cox has earned the right to get ejected from a ballgame whenever he wants to... in my book, anyways.

When asked in an interview at the World Baseball Classic what it's like to play for Bobby Cox, Braves third baseman, Chipper Jones, responded, "It's an honor. Bobby always has our backs, even if we're in the wrong. He's like a dad to all of us. People don't understand. When he argues a call, half the time it is because he simply wants to protect his player from getting tossed. So many already have told me since I've been here [World Baseball Classic] that they would love to play for Bobby."

After reading this over a year ago, I began to appreciate Bobby Cox even more as a manager. I mean, the man has a pure heart behind his behavior. I even join the hometown crowd by chanting, "Bobby, Bobby, Bobby" when he argues a call. It's like a high. Plus, come on folks, it's Bobby Cox. He can do whatever he wants. Afterall, he's sailing through to Cooperstown.

So if I get pumped when Bobby gets ejected, I know his players must near about come out of their skin.

But when you're playing for a minor league Braves team, and your manager (or should I say "coach" in this guy's case...) acts like this, you have to be just absolutely humiliated.

Surely this guy lost his job...
