Quick note: I wrote something for The Faster Times on Mets VP for Player Development (ha!) Tony Bernazard, and whether he is the new George Costanza. You can read it here.
What is amusing and sort of lost in the Bernazard/Binghamton flap is that sort of machismo/rah-rah-rah football mentality stuff doesn't play well in baseball clubhouses. Remember the stories of Steinbrenner trying to rally the Yankee clubhouse in the 70's? The Piniellas, Munsons, Murcers of that era just smirked and winked at each other during the tirades. Hey Tony, I got news for you - even those 18 and 19 year olds at AA were LAUGHING at you during your rant. You made yourself a joke.
