Last night Troy Percival of the Tampa Bay Rays threw a hissy fit when manager Joe Maddon yanked him from the game, he had given up some runs and understandably Maddon didn't want to spoil a big win for his ball club. While on the mound the two had a heated exchange on if he (Percival) should be pulled. A shouting match ensued on the mound and Maddon eventually won and so did the Rays.
After the game Percvial is considered "firey" by this MLB.com writer. "Firey", eh?
Let's flashback for a moment if you please to Jerry Manuel's first game as Mets skipper.
Jose Reyes gets a hit and then seems to tweak his hamstring. Manuel, being on the cautious side pulls Reyes out of the game just to be safe. Reyes argues with Manuel and then throws his helmet in disgust.
This Sunday, Reyes fields a routine ground ball and let's it go too high...it wasn't an impossible play for Delgado to make, but we all know he's such a lazy shit on the field he lets the ball hit his glove and go into the Mets dugout. Reyes throws his glove in digust, yet he is labeled "immature".
What gives? Why call Percival "firey" and Reyes "immature" for basically the same exact thing? Why do they contradict themselves on this issue? To me, both players are firey and want to win at all costs...what's the big deal? Ohhh...Jose threw his glove...he's obviously immature. No he isn't he just wants to win you pack of jackoffs...get off his fucking back, they are both the same instances and one gets labeled differently than the other? Why is this, I want to find out.
