We all remember Asheville Tourists manager Joe Mikulik's famous tirade last year. Now, we have a new entry to the Mikulik Pantheon of Ridiculous Minor League Manager Protests.
The above is a link to video of Mississippi Braves manager Phillip Wellman, who was so angry about a call yesterday he did some combination of the following things:
- Threw third base
- Bent down to cover home plate in dirt with his hands
- Crawled through the infield on his stomach
- Threw the rosin bag like it was a grenade
(HT: My Sports Talk)
NOTE: If anyone can find better or more accessible video, please e-mail and let us know. Thanks.

This video is fantastic. This manager has to be a favorite of Bobby Cox.

Though he may not be a "Well Man" the tirade was quite comical. Should the call by the umpire have been challenged.

The army has asked for this film for training new hires . Just a couple words of advice ...Wait three seconds before throwing the rosin bag and Baseball uniforms make for bad camoflauge .

Most coaches act like idiots anyway, but Pinella should be in a mental hospital

Kind of childish, actually. Can you suspend a manager for being a total jackass?

This is the type of exsitement that fans pay come to see trevre haven't been anything like this since billy martin kicks up dirt on a umpires feet in many years for a call that a manager did not like I thinkmit was exciting, believe it or not.
