He's just practicing. He wants Bobby Cox's job.

Roblefko, you mean Phillip Wellman - the former manager of the Minor League team the Mississippi Braves.

See, over here, if some guy makes himself look like a prat, someone comes on and drags him out of there, kicking and screaming if needs be. I'll bet he was regretting this as soon as he bent down to scrape mud over the plate. So he thought he'd best go down in style.

Wellman's meltdown was just the natural evolution of Joe Mikulik's classic routine...

As a manager it's up to you to to set the example to the team. If I was playing for that team, I'd be embarrassed whilst it was going on. I'd also not be able to take him seriously after that. He could never say that you blew it etc. It's only a game for goodness sake.

Mikulik's tantrum was better and more complete with that slide into 2nd base. This was a cheap knockoff.

It did smack of imitation, but Wellman added kind of a weird "commando" touch to his, with the crawling and the grenade toss. I still like Mikulik's better.

The "grenade" was awesome though. Way cooler than anything Manny Stiles will ever do.

I don't know... having my own hate club/entourage of jocksniffers that are addicted to Preparation Hate from Chicago is pretty cool. I don't even have to do anything and they bring me up. You can't PAY for Pub like that!

Mikulik's was better and more complete with that headfirst slide into second base.

Agreed. This guy is a copycat and a poor man's imitation for Mikulik.

Throwing the rosin bag grenade was the highlight of Wellman's antics.

EW: Won't help me, I can't read braille
