Astros Pitcher Does What Phillies Fans Have Wanted To Do For Years

Astros pitcher Shawn Chacon has been suspended for pulling a Latrell Sprewell on GM Ed Wade.

Yes, this is the former Phillies GM, the one who looks like a Dilbert character.

“He started yelling and cussing,” Chacon said of Wade. “I’m sitting there and I said to him very calmly, ‘Ed, you need to stop yelling me. Then I stood up and said ‘you better stop yelling at me.’ I stood up. He continued and was basically yelling and stuff and was like, ‘You need to (expletive) look in the mirror.’ So at that point I lost my cool and I grabbed him by the neck and threw him to the ground. I jumped on top of him because at that point I wanted to beat his (butt). Words were exchanged.”

Ha ha, Ed Wade was cursing somebody out. One can only assume this means Chacon will be sent packing. Well, that, and his 5.04 ERA. Now, if he were Brett Myers…

Update: Enrico and I are on the same page here. I also love Matt’s comment:

“We can’t have anarchy,” [Astros owner Drayton] McLane said. “You can’t have rebellion.”

Even I didn’t think the Wade Era in Houston would include this quote this fast.
