Roger McDowell should be fired.

I don't care if he's a good pitching coach or not, he's a lousy human being.

"The altercation at AT&T Park in San Francisco took place last Saturday during batting practice. Justin Quinn was in the stands with his wife and nine-year-old twin daughters when he noticed McDowell hectoring three men and asking them, "Are you guys a homo couple or a threesome?"
After the coach made crude sexual gestures with his hips and a bat, Quinn said he shouted, "Hey there are kids out here." According to Quinn, McDowell said kids don't belong at a baseball park, picked up a bat, walked up to Quinn and asked him, "How much are your teeth worth?"
Quinn said he felt threatened and was unsure whether McDowell intended to hit him.
"My kids are in panic mode ... they're like grabbing onto me," Quinn said Wednesday during a news conference at the office of prominent Los Angeles lawyer Gloria Allred. "I'm talking to him, trying to calm him down and the kids are screaming."
Some parents who were in the stands with their children began to boo at McDowell and came down to retrieve their kids. Quinn said eventually McDowell walked away.

"I am deeply sorry that I responded to the heckling fans in San Francisco," McDowell said in a statement, his only public comment on the matter. "I apologize to everyone for my actions.""

That's got to be the worst apology in history. Roger can go and join up with John Rocker and Rob Dibble (and many others) in the baseball asshole club.

JERK

Weird games I've watched on TV.

Boxscore

Expos starter John Dopson was one out away from pitching a 14 hit shutout when Dion James hit a 2 run single in the 9th.

I remembered this game so well that I was convinced it was Bob Sebra who pitched it, but of course it was actually John Dopson.

His final line was ridiculous. 8.2 15 2 2 1 3 Game score 48

The Braves had hits in every inning, but grounded into 3 double plays.

I remember that a lot of the hits were bleeders, or seeing eye grounders. It was really as routine a 15 hitter as you'd ever want to see.

Fred McGriff. Conductor?

 Get that horn section pumping Freddie!

Caps under helmets. Tony Tarasco.

While Tony is probably best remembered for being the outfielder robbed by Jeffrey Maier, to an Expos fan he was the replacement in RF in 1995 when Larry Walker left.

Stupid kid.
