Second and third opinion
The Fernando Cabrera incident was replayed duriing the pregame show on the national Fox broadcast today and stimulated an interesting conversation between studio analysts Mark Grace and Kevin Kennedy.
Grace teed off on Cabrera and said he would be surprised if the O's middleman made another appearance on the mound this season. Kennedy (right) went even further. He said if a pitcher disrespected him in that manner when he was managing, there would have been a fist fight on the mound.
Trembley promised the situation would be dealt with. His quote to that effect was in an earlier post. Baltimore Sun beat writer Jeff Zrebiec is reporting that Cabrera has been fined an undisclosed amount. Wouldn't be surprised if he also has some trouble getting back to the mound.

Is that picture Ron Burgandy or Bruce Cunningham?

Pete's reply: Good question. I don't think it's Bruce, because he isn't trying to convince me he birdied the hole after driving into the water three times.

I don't think there is any pitcher on our roster right now who is too good to accept any role the manager assigns him, including mop up relief. It wasn't Trembly's fault F Cab gave up two homers. Anyone who doesn't like the manager's decisions is free to look in the minors for a manager they like better.

Well thats why Mr Kennedy... Kennedy is sitting at a table and not in a dug out.
