Wally Backman Blows Up
In case you missed it, last Friday Wally Backman had an “issue” with an opposing manager.
First, the part where Wally goes after Syracuse Chiefs (Triple-A Nationals) manager Tony Beasley. The second video is the post-game press conference, during which Wally explains why he went after Beasley. There are also some interesting comments and updates regarding a few of his Bisons ballplayers, such as Lucas Duda.

When is Wally going to get his front teeth fixed?
I mean, if one going to argue, rant & rave & say F#*%U, one should do so in style, don’t you think?
Notwithstanding, I look forward to when he’s managing in the Mets dugout and puts Davey in his place…Little Dog bites the Big Dog.
The teeth are part of the effect. Plus it makes him “real.”
Speaking of effect for use in arguments, at my college the basketball coach used to chomp on a clove of raw garlic before going out to argue with the official.
I used to love when Willie Randolph did this….
Wait…..
