Foulke-Fan meltdown

[FLW Buckeye]

Looks like he is just upset that Papelbon doesn't look to be giving up the closer role anytime soon. :D

Foulke messed up. Fan Heckled Foulke. Foulke questioned fan.

Foulke threw his glove against wall.

We've seen this from many players.

Kevin Brown, Paul O'neill, Kyle Farnsworth... These guys compete and when they mess up and some iodot that can only watch comments immediately after a screw up.. tempers are bound to flare.

It only means these guys have passion. Wouldn't the Yankees like to see more passion from A-Rod??

[Jack]

Not passion directed towards hometown fans.....absolutely a no-win situation there.


When it does happen, though, I'll find it amusing. If A-Rod or Randy Johnson or Jeter answers back angrily to criticizm from a hometown fan or prying & pressing reporter, then they deserve the deunce cap. Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if The Big Unit is going to crack under pressure and lose his religion in front of the camera one of these days.

No player is safe from this. And close confines of Fenway can bring a temper tantrum out of a player. I can't wait to see what happens to Manny someday when he's slumping and Francona orders him to "go sit in the corner". Should make for some interesting veiwing.

Todd, I would be amazed to see Manny show any emotion... Manny is a savant when it comes to baseball. Tito has told Manny to sit before and Manny sits... problem sometimes is getting Manny up!! Once he is up, he just mashes and actually is not a bad Left Fielder most of the time. He just has his Manny moments (of complete confusion!!!!)

Now, If "Big Papi"- aka David Ortiz were to ever get angry... I'd get out of town!! Dude could probably pick up Fenway Park and throw it a mile if he got angry!! Thank God, He is a gentle Giant!
