Trembley calls out "idiots"

[blueberryale77]

Apparently Dave Trembley had quite a strong reaction to the fans who ran on the field last night. I know in the game thread people said the MASN coverage showed him yelling at them as they were escorted off the field, but he also went off about it after the game:

"That's embarrassing to baseball. It wasn't baseball," Trembley said. "I am a big proponent of respect and that's probably the epitome of disrespect when two idiots run out on the field like that. And what really bothered me is that they come up from behind two of my players, which ought to tell you a little about their backbone. Weak. Very weak."

Trembley went on to say that the fans were lucky that nobody on the field -- except the security guards -- took the matter into their own hands. He said that if things had been different, the situation could've had an ugly resolution.

"I wish I could have taken them in the back room," he said. "I would have kicked the snot out of both of them. I'm serious. You think I'm kidding you. I don't have any patience for disrespect. These guys bust their [rear] out there every night, and for two lunatics to come out there like that -- who do they think they are? Turn them over to us one time. I'll show them where the other side of the fence is. I believe in respect and common courtesy. Those two idiots last night did not show any of that."

Overall it's a somewhat humorous read while you're waiting out the rain delay.

Trembley is a real idiot when it comes to this.

Lighten up, Shatner.

Trembley's got a little Mike Curtis in him, eh?

Just for those comments, I say we give Trembley a life long contract. He's awesome.

Why? You don't think it's funny?

[DrLev]

Wow! I think we've discovered one of Trembley's pet peeves.

[BillySmith]

I love that stuff, too. Some people live in a world where nobody should be judged. Thank God DT is not in that world.

Why? You don't think it's funny?

Depends on how you define the particular kind of funny. It delays the game, and is a direct violation of the contract you basically sign when you buy a ticket. I find it funny when they get taken out. I don't find it funny that drunken idiots think it's awesome to jump on to the field of play.

[Boy Howdy]

I must confess, I was secretly hoping Trembley would be ranting about certain overreacting OH posters.

[LookitsPuck]

No, it is classless. Your reaction here was to call Trembley the idiot? WOW

Of course! He needs to lighten up! He's like a bloody Nazi.

[The Wedge]

Of course! He needs to lighten up! He's like a bloody Nazi.

That's flat out ridiculous to compare the man to a Nazi because he respects the game and the field of play and doesn't suffer fools.

[Boy Howdy]

Of course! He needs to lighten up! He's like a bloody Nazi.

Watch out. Mike Curtis might start looking for you if you make ignorant comparisons like that.

That is the way it has to be.

Did you really just compare a baseball manager who hates it when fans run out onto the field to a political regime that brought about the worst war in the history of mankind (not to mention genocide)?

While I find streakers entertaining, I can understand that it must be unsettling for a player given that there have been incidents involving violent drunks instead of mirthful drunks. If your a player and you see some random guy running towards you your first thoughts are probably(or at least should be), "Weapon" and "Lawsuit"
