Jays' manager John Gibbons gets his ass kicked......
dumbass sounds like one of his players took him up on his challenge. Makes you wonder if Hillenbrand wasn't on to something here. Sounds like he is a dick.

"He thought he should have been left in the game," Gibbons said of Lilly. "I didn't think so."

I don't blame Gibbons for being [censored]ed. Lilly has no right to be upset about being yanked in the third when he's already given up 7 runs in the inning. |

Yeah but that doesnt give the manager the right to wait for him in the tunnel and start a fight. They are both wrong in my opinion but I still think the manager is not going to get much respect from his players with the way he handled the situation. It seems there is a respect issue already with the way things are coming out.

I agree with that. If Gibbons wasn't such a douche already, Lilly might not have reacted the same way to being pulled. |

Gibbons is the manager, Lilly is the player. end of story. this is what is wrong with professional sports. these players are sending a message that it is ok to argue on the field with your coach/manager. if the coach doesn't like the way you are throwing he is going to pull you, and he has every right to do so. that is what he gets paid to do. Now, starting a fight in the tunnel with one of your players... that's even worse than lilly showing up his manager on the field. when a player disrespects you there are ways to discipline him and send the rest of the team a message without starting a fight.

Arguing with the coach only leads you down the road to the Israeli mafia.
