ISOLATED , ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME, YOU STUPID IDIOTIC MORON!!!!
Frank Wren dissed Cal Ripkin junior and did the same to Tom Glavine years later. That ain’t isolated, that is man who doesn’t learn from his mistakes. The kind of man who will run this franchise right into the damn ground!

I’m Led To Believe That Chip Carey’s Contract is up at the end of the year, because He is doing his best Yankee Auditions For the YES Network and BSPN…
He Just gets off on praising these guys…

I mean for all we know Escobar hurt his hip again and was stretching his leg out at Shortstop….I mean frustrated or not…he had to dive again tonight and he could be frustrated that his hip hurts….I mean I’m not trying to blame Lowe but he knows Escobar is hurt….and if anyone on this team….CHIPPER…was a leader they would have gone right up to Escobar after he yelled BS and calm him down….I know he’s grown…but it’s not like one of his teammates couldn’t calm him down…..
LOL anyone remember when Tex had to calm Huddy down….hahaha

I do like that Chip calmly pointed out Escobar’s mistake in play and did it with professionalism and let it go.
Joe did not act professional in that instance.

Escobar should not be buried. I don’t know why Simpson hammers him all the time but I will say this. Being visibly angry about a scoring and and noting getting into fielding position after is a HUGE freaking problem.
My guess is that Simpson may have some inside info on some other issues that the general public does not know regarding Yunels attitude. What do you think DOB?

I agree with you. I can be a passionate person myself sometimes and every now and then I need someone to come in and bascially tell me off. Bobby doesn’t do that. I have a feeling Ozzie guillen does. Being nice doesn’t always work. Sometimes you need tough love. Esco may be one of those people.

DFA Escobat the jerk, or send him back to Rookie league. He has had attitude problems his entire career. Nobody wants to put up with that crap. Too bad we didn’t dump him in the Peavy trade. Guy sux !!!!!!

So when you are standing in the field and give someone the finger because you are angry, you shouldn’t get called out for it? How about pouting while the game is being played?

He’s not a pansy like the other 8 players on the field….He showed his disgust….someone on the team should have went up to him and calmed him down…yes it’s wrong….but he was frustrated…..we can’t criticize him for something any hard nose player would do.

Escobar’s a player. A special one. Deal with it.
He’s also hurting pretty bad right now, trying to stretch out that right hip over by first base.
