Monday Madness 2 – Tantrum 101

I just couldn’t wait another week to post this one. See, having a younger sister, I’ve seen plenty of hissy fits. Good ones, bad ones, gratutitous ones, and effective ones. But every youngster can take lessons from baseball manager Joe Mikulik on how to milk it for all it’s worth.

Good ole Joe decided he had objections to a 2nd base umpire’s call, so he decided to tell the ump exactly what he thought of the call. Well, that’s not all that unusual in the great sport of baseball. But by the time Joe got ejected, he was just getting started. This was like the Energizer bunny of hissy fits: just when you thought he’d finally finished, he kept right on goin’. Kicking, screaming, and throwing things, just like my little sister used to. ;) (JK, Jo!)

The funniest part is this quote:

“I could get two mannequins at Sears and umpire better than what I saw this whole series,” he told the Lexington Herald-Leader.

That totally reminded me of something Daddy would say! Oh, and after Joe left the field, he decided he’d barricade the ump’s locker room so they couldn’t get to the showers, just for good measure.

Now THAT’S a hissy fit.
