Here We Go Again: Another Guillen Tantrum
Via BTF a WaPo story about Jose Guillen's explosive rage when Esteban Loiaza didn't retaliate after a hit-by-pitch.
Mets pitcher Pedro Martinez hit Guillen with a pitch in the first inning, and Guillen -- according to several sources -- became incensed that the Nationals didn't retaliate. Several sources said he had a confrontation in the dugout prior to the bottom of the second inning with pitcher Esteban Loaiza and catcher Brian Schneider.Have a good time with that 2006 contract, Jose. Too bad it's kinda hard to hit with a straightjacket on, though."He was on first base, and then we went back on the field [in the top of the second], and then came back in the dugout, and it was our turn up to bat, and he said he told me to hit somebody," Loaiza said yesterday. "He never mentioned anything to me, and then he started going after Schneider. And Schneider didn't hear him, either.
"And everybody was mad. I was mad. Eventually, some of our teammates had to calm us down. We still had a lot more game left."
Update: Sean offers his consolation, but I prefer pie. Hee!
Comments:
Guillen was left out of the lineup today -- he only appeared as a pinch-hitter because the game was tied going into the nith.
I guess once you've been on six teams in five seasons, it's easy to make it seven.

Or it was tied going into the "ninth," for those of you who don't speak gibberish...
