Jerry Manuel suspended one game for bumping Bill Welke.

While I agree with the suspension...I'm frustrated it had to happen because the call Jerry was arguing was so blatantly bullshit. Shane Victorino was caught in a run down between Reyes and Delgado...and he went out of his way to shove Reyes...which caused the ump to call obstruction on Reyes even though he wasn't obstructing shit. Thankfully it didn't matter as the Mets won anyway.

Between this incident, his constant taunting of the Mets on the field, his clipping of infielders when he slides into second, and the fact that last year he stood flat-foot on home plate and double-pointed directly at the Mets dugout...I think Victorino has become the player I dislike the most.

Doesn't hurt his cause that Rollins has been shit this year and Chipper just has such a history against the Mets I just expect him to burn them at this point.
