This Is Kind Of Funny, Too

I have no idea whether Joe Girardi is or isn't a good manager, but his Florida Marlins team seems to be doing ok for a bunch of kids with the lowest payroll and worst fan support in the majors. I will guarantee that he's better at his job than his teams' owner.

During an August 6 game with the Dodgers, Marlins owner Jeffrey (The Destroyer) Loira began berating the home plate umpire after a couple of close pitches went against the Fish. Loira was seated close to the dugout, and asked Loira to stop, reminding him that "I'm the manager."

The Destroyer blew a fuse, left his seat, and was reportedly ready to fire Girardi at the end of the game. Cooler and saner heads managed to talk him off of the ledge.

According to one source with the Marlins, "Jeffrey can be very knee-jerk." I think that this sentence works better without the word "knee."
