Patrick, while I admired Lou Piniella as a player, there is simply no excuse for his behavior as manager. He has done this kind of stuff before.
I fully understand at the major league level, tempers flare and sometimes managers want to get thrown out to light a fire under their team , however, there's a way to get ejected without at a total disregard for the game and sportsmanship.
Joe Torre gets thrown out, but he doesn't act like Lou Pinella. IMO Lou should be fined and suspended.
We wonder why we have problem with coaches as they see this act and want to be Lou Pinella / Billy Martin wannabies.
