This is hysterical. Phillip Wellman, a minor league manager in the Braves organization, throws a major league tantrum after being ejected Friday night. I don't know what he was smoking but this is classic!

What's the Point?
So I'm keeping an eye on the Cubs game today, and I happen to switch over when Angel Pagan is trying to steal third base on a semi-wild pitch. He gets thrown out, by a very close margin, and Lou Piniella goes nuts. He gets ejected and actually kicks dirt on the umpire's feet. (First time I'd ever actually seen that!)
The argument goes on for a while and other umpires step in to control Lou as he kicks his own hat around in front of the dugout.
What I don't understand is the fans. They proceeded to throw all kinds of crap down onto the field. Was this in support of Lou? In protest for what they thought was a bad call?
Either way, it appears that "the best fans in baseball" support their team by trashing the field? So I ask, what's the point?
