    Tony Stewart often speaks his mind. Be it intelligent or not.

    Hence, why I really like that guy. If I were a NASCAR fan, I've made it no secret that I would follow that guy. To boot, I feel he's easily the best driver out there. After he and Jeff Gordon in terms of pure driving and getting everything they can out of their cars at that moment, it's not even close.

    I dunno if I'd label Tony Stewart delusional, KG. I do wish he'd talk to the other media and not just save his good stuff for his radio show. Other drivers have backed some of the things the robots dearly wish he'd keep to himself.

    That NASCAR got so small that they wouldn't let his team take their car out of their hauler until he went it, got screamed at and had to recant everything he said tells me all I need to know. I suspect I'm not alone.

    Not only that, but who the fuck is going to hire him if the Braves don't choose him to succeed Cox?

    That guy just locked up a life in the bushes. Why would a team want to hire a guy who so clearly lacks self-control? Especially these days, with GMs marginalizing managers and turning them into personality-less drones who just do what the GM says.

    I dunno, BYH ... maybe the White Sox could hire him. I mean, Jay Mariotti has to have something to gripe about.

    I wonder if right before this happened, the manager said to his team...

    "I'll bet you $10K I can get on SportsCenter..."

    That whole thing was funny for about 20 seconds and after that just looked like a staged meltdown...

    The first parts were pretty Pinella-esque. When he started crawling up to the rosin bag, I started to think it was staged, too.

    So how much do you think he collected in the clubhouse for becoming a SportsCenter/YouTube/internet hit?

    Outstanding.

    I wonder if this guy will soon be jobless. I mean, do you really want a crazy dude teaching future major leaguers?

    Wild to watch.
    Absolutely wild.
    Fans love this sort of thing. Sportswriters on deadline hate it.
    Baseball's got plenty of these over-the-toppisms

    The Mississippi Braves guy may be a minor league manager, but his tantrum made Piniella's look absolutely bush league by comparison.

    Task 071-326-0502: Use the high crawl

    Movement technique used under direct, ineffective fire.


    a. Keep your body off the ground

    b. Rest your weight on your forearms and lower legs.

    c. Cradle your weapon in your arms, keeping its muzzle off the ground.

    d. Keep your knees well behind your buttocks so it stays low.

    e. Move forward by alternately advancing your right elbow and left knee, and left elbow and right knee.



    I saw this last night while eating supper with an Army buddy. When the guy started his high crawl from second to the mound, we both laughed so hard, people in the restaurant started staring.
