I don't know if this has made ESPN yet, but the crawl and grenade toss is classic.

The grenade toss is just brilliant. Best blowup ever.

Taking third and second is also a nice touch, as well as the way he salutes the crowd at the end. Awesome stuff.

As much as I loved the Grenade, the slide was too good.

yea you're right, it was a lot much. I just don't understand why the umpires let it carry on that long. Isn't there something they can do the get him off of the field, or do they just have to wait until he leaves?

The umpires are just as big of attention seekers as the managers, what with all the face to face arguing and chest swelling and overly dramatic punchouts and whatnot. It's sad. I hate that aspect of baseball. Why can't everyone just shut up and swing the bat and throw the ball and stuff? Fools.

Mikulik's tantrum was the superior one because it was spontaneous, or at least appeared to be. This one was probably rehearsed. Not to mention, it was highly derivative of Mikulik's.
