Funny you should mention this. My first impression on reading the account in the Huston Chronicle was the whole "Chrissie" Everret vs. Jim Rome thing.

Ed Wade probably thought he was being to be the Alpha Male by trying to show up Chacon. Then again, Chacon’s season has gone into the crapper and I don’t think he was about to be belittled by the GM of the team who is a the definition of an ass clown. I really don’t care if Chacon didn’t handle this in the appropriate manner. This was a situation where Wade took it upon himself, where he could have sent another employee of the franchise, to send for Chacon for a meeting in the manager’s office. But Wade decided to lite the fuse himself and Chacon went off like a nuke. Sometimes the wicked do get their just desserts.

Perhaps a bit more credit is due Ed Wade – he apparently didn’t fly off the handle initially. For those who didn’t listen to the audio, Blum says that Wade originally asked Chacon calmly to come into the manager’s office. It was only after Chacon’s refusal that Wade went into dumbass mode.

Wade could have simply remained calm, listened to Chacon’s refusal, and proceeded directly to DFA for insubordination. Instead, he goes tough guy on a much bigger man and gets his ass handed to him, which I think he richly deserved.

But Bonds – haha yeah right.
