Outside of the play of Lance Berkman, this has not been a fun year to be a Houston Astros fan. Shawn Chacon may only see the inside of a major league clubhouse again if they have field trips for the state prisoners.
"So at that point I lost my cool and I grabbed him by the neck and threw him to the ground. I jumped on top of him," he said. "Words were exchanged."

Somewhere Latrell Sprewell is going thru a foreclosure and complaining that the media isn't giving this enough attention......

I am sure there are a lot of Astros fans who would like to do that to Ed Wade...
...and somewhere Phillies' fans are thinking the same thing.

Frankly Im surprised Chacon isnt possibly facing assault charges for this.

That's not out of the realm of possibilities. You'll hear more from Wade on Sportscenter tonight.
Being brutally honest, I haven't been in the clubhouse once this season. So I have no inside information in that regard. But based on my experience, the quotes from Lance and Ausmus should be watched very carefully to tell you what the players really think of the situation.

Philly fans are still laughing their heads off that Houston hired Ed Wade. Sometimes, unfortunately, you get what you asked for and with Mr Wade, that's nothing good.
