Comments on: Players Gone Crazy: Shawn Chacon http://larrybrownsports.com/baseball/players-crazy-shawn-chacon/1672 Brown Bag it, Baby Sat, 26 May 2012 02:12:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Gene http://larrybrownsports.com/baseball/players-crazy-shawn-chacon/1672/comment-page-1#comment-194649 Gene Sat, 28 Jun 2008 22:34:05 +0000 http://larrybrownsports.com/baseball/players-crazy-shawn-chacon/#comment-194649 Chacon's account of the incident, as related above, turned out to be faulty, to say the least. Later accounts seem to indicate that it was Chacon who did the yelling and used the profanity. The GM's cursing pretty much was limited to something like "look in the ____mirror". While Chacon is obviously troubled and has a short fuse, I wouldn't quite put him in Sprewell's category, since Chacon "only" choked the GM once, in reaction to the incident. Keep in mind that Sprewell did the same thing and left the arena, only to return after giving the situation a careful analysis, he returned and choked his coach a second time. which was defintiely premeditated. That being said, I wonder what penalty Chacon would have gotten if he were the ace of the staff rather than a marginal pitcher who was demoted to the bullpen and had seen better days.

I would lay him out just the same but that's just me. I know this is bad but personally I wouldn’t take some dude dude got in my grill yelling and cussing at me.
