Tantruming Baseball Players

OK, I think sports are cool and fun and all that, but I saw the dumbest thing and just had to say something.  Apparently some famous baseball player guy got himself kicked-out of a major league game last night on account of a questionable "strike" call by the ump.  The guy was literally acting like a 7-year-old child...and then his old-guy manager came out of the dugout to defend his tantruming player by jumping up and down, screaming in the ump's face, and kicking dirt.  I literally laughed out loud at the stupidity of the whole thing.  He & the ump went at it like gorillas fighting for turf.  It's a frickin' game!

Now, there is a time and place to get worked up, for sure....like when someone's threatening my family, or abusing a child, or stealing from an old lady.  As a society, sometimes I think we've lost perspective about what's truly important.
