MLB: Molina freak out....no suspension?

Big deal. Yes, the ump missed the call. Molina was not justified to go nuts. He comes out looking like an idiot, who got himself tossed over a missed strike call. Showing up an umpire, as a player, is stupid. It will almost never end to the player's benefit. And getting ejected and possibly suspended over a missed strike call? In what world is that NOT stupid, and detrimental to the team?
And as far as "owning up" to my own team's problems: I want Zambrano out of Chicago. Dude is a hothead who thinks he's a #1 when he's really a #3 at best. The guy's blowups are downright embarrassing.
It'd be different if this were a one-time incident. Molina, like Zambrano, has a track record of losing his cool. Grow up and learn a little self-discipline.
Lets looks back just a week or so ago to see how you react to a bad call (although I'm still not convinced this was THAT bad of a call). What did the Pirates catcher do after the homeplate ump made a flat awful call that cost him the game? He protested some then got out of the way and let his manager argue, with the key phrase being argue. Not bump. No spit. Argue.
When presented with the facts, you simply choose to ignore them. You must be spitting mad right now, aintchya.
<--- you
Anybody else find it odd that a Steelers and Reds fan is calling other teams' players out for being thugs?

I said "if." I also said that I haven't watched it. I don't plan to. It doesn't matter to me whether he was or wasn't out of line.
What I've been commenting on is the idea that people interpret his actions in light of the Cardinals' history of championships. That's the logic I've talked about. Most people don't even think about a team's history when they're watching a game or highlights.
HEY hey hey! Now wait one damn............
actually you kind of have a point to that one. :sad:
Carry on.
You're not convinced that was a bad call? The umpire apologized and stated he missed the call the day after it happened. If you cannot concede the Braves/Pirates call was missed, I will not/cannot continue this conversation. You obviously don't know anything. Goodbye, Completely Useless By September "fan".
This so untrue ................. the reason he was not suspended is likely that he is so well regarded by the umps, at least partially, because he keeps his cool and works with them during games. My wife met him at the STL airport and they had a long chat...........now her favorite player. She was surprised how short he is.
Jealousy. It comes down to jealousy. They just talked about it on Sports Center last night. Teams who complain about the Cards are jealous of their history. I think Kansas gets all the calls because they're Kansas.
I was saying that I'm not convinced the Yadi call was that bad. I said "If you want to see how to react to a bad call" then said "even thought IT (the Yadi) call was not that bad of a call." The Pirates call was awful.
I'm obviously a Cards fan. Full disclosure. But I'm not sure where people are getting his "history" from. Is it the Brandon Philips thing? That didn't end well, but Yadi was right to stand up for his team. Philips deserved to be dressed down. What else has Yadi done to earn this rep?
This is the most absurd thing I have ever heard. Let me guess, people don't like Kobe because he's a Laker, not the fact he is acts like a baby during a game? People don't like Garnett because is a freakin' cheap shotting lunatic, it's because he is a Celtic? People dislike Big Ben, not because he molests women but because he is a Steeler? People dislike Calipari, not because he's left two schools on probation for rules violations but because he coaches Kentucky?
This has nothing to do with jealous. People can spot a punk *** out of a crowd, and people can make judgments on how million dollar athletes and role models should act. Unfortunately, there are alot of punk *** millionaire role model athletes that play for good teams. What's your point?
All That discussion and he was still suspended.
