Baseballs Best Tirades

Paul Lo Duca, the New York Mets Catcher, had one of the most memorable tirades in recent history this past week as he went off on the home plate ump and threw his equipment on the field. See some of his antics in the video below.


Here is a portion of what Lo Duca said on NY radio station WFAN, when asked about his questionable reaction to a borderline inside strike call.

“You know something, the guys who go right to the dugout shouldn’t be playing, they don’t have the passion. If you’re gonna say, ‘Thank you for throwing me out, I’ll go get them next time, thank you very much,’ well, that’s bullcrap, you know, have some pride and get something from the situation – and that’s what I did. Obviously, I overreacted, I told you guys that, but when a guy throws me out of the game I’m gonna get my moneys worth, I’m gonna let him know, I’m not gonna say, ‘Thank you for throwing me out, I appreciate it, I needed to go see a movie a little early,’ no, I’m gonna get upset about and I did.”

I needed to go see a movie early, Is this guy a Brooklyn born Italian or what! Read more about Lo Duca and the other mets on www.metsmerizedonline.com

Speaking of funny tirades here is Double A manager Phillip Wellman, completely flipping out. this is the most entertaining tirade in the history of baseball. Some talk has been made about if this was staged or not. Who cares, it better than some shlub in the minor leagues slappin singles around.

I mean this outburst has it all. He really took his time covering the plate with dirt. I bet they had trouble finding it after he was done. He also stole two bases, more than Mo Vaughn had in his whole career. If you don't laugh out loud to the grenade launch then you officially have no sense of humor. This is all graced with a gentlemanly bow at the end when he departs via the outfield. All in All it was a extremely classy tirade. SR&R baseball rant of year nominee! Actually, fuck it he is the winner!

Why do we play the game again?

Now I know why Herm is considered a great communicator.
