    And this is why I think MLB umpires are awful...the umpire tries to get back in Bowa's face. Repeatedly.

    Umpires should just shut up and @!$&ing walk away.

      Not only that, but he instigated the whole thing. Since when is the coaching box enforced?  Bush league.

      Yeah, that sort of BS doesn't happen in basketball or football. Bad calls are bad calls, but the refs don't get into players' faces about it.

VIDEO: Larry Bowa Goes Apes#!t
Bugs & Cranks — And we thought Dodgers third base coach Larry Bowa went nuts when they told him he had to start wearing a helmet to coach third base. With my Devil Rays off tonight, hearing Vin Scully describe this tonight made me seriously consider plunking down $179 for the Extra Innings package…. Here’s shaky video with Vin Scully audio: ...

Wild World Of Wednesday - April 2, 2008
Women Like Sports — I can’t get over how thrilled I am that Major League Baseball has begun its season. In fact, I am still in a sort of euphoria after my weekend of attending games. As I was driving to Dodger Stadium on Monday, I felt for my fellow baseball fans that were experiencing rain outs and cancellations with their team openers… In game two on Tuesday night of the Dodgers’ opening home stand, third base coach Larry Bowa was standing a bit outside of his designated box. The ump motioned to him that he needs to stand in a certain place and Bowa freaked out! He got in the ump’s face ...

Larry Bowa Forgets He's In LA Now (and other baseball notes)
Boiled Sports — Continuing my lazy-ass habit of posting YouTube videos instead of original, creative content, I thought I'd share with anyone who didn't see it (which is most of us) Larry Bowa's first emotional outburst of the year, from last night's Dodgers victory over the Giants. Bowa was the third base coach for my beloved Yanks' the past ...

WATN: Good Old Larry Bowa
The700Level.com - Philly Sports & Minutiae — On opening day we were discussing the former Phillies manager and ESPN analyst, wondering what he was up to these days. Turns out he followed Joe Torre to the Dodgers and still has some fire in that belly of his as demonstrated in this impressive freak out. Only thing missing is a good ball or bat toss onto the field and some dirt-mound formations on home plate. ...

Larry Bowa is a Spaz
Babes Love Baseball — It's awesome when third base coaches flip out for no reason. And it's even more awesome when they are completely against the idea of taking any sort of responsibility for their actions. In fact, Larry Bowa seems to think Bob Watson, baseball's disciplinarian, has it out ...

Larry Bowa got angry
The Postmen // A Sports Blog // Chicago, IL. — One of the signs baseball is officially here? The manager — or in this case Los Angeles Dodgers third base coach Larry Bowa — going insane in an argument with an ump. The best part of this is that it has nothing to do with a balls or strikes call or whether a player was safe or out. No: Bowa apparently got pissy because the ump gave him lip for not being in the coach’s box. Vin Scully provides some dulcet commentary to the fun here. I could listen to that man’s voice all day. {Via Bugs & Cranks.}

Bowa Boots Himself
Baseball Digest Daily — Not surprisingly, Dodgers third base coach Larry Bowa has been suspended for his conduct in Tuesday's game against the Giants. Bowa, who has never been known for being mild-mannered, will be banished for three games for his "inappropriate and aggressive conduct", according to MLB. Bowa got into it with third base umpire Ed Montague during the sixth inning for not remaining in the coaches box. The video is quite entertaining: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6Tjps_-JnQ ...

Bowa's Rage
Sons of Steve Garvey — Anyone see Larry Bowa go apesh!t last night? I actually thought it was pretty funny and quite welcome. After all those games last year watching Grady Little sleep through the game and Rich Donnelly's ass in the 3rd base box, it was nice to see a coach come out with some fire. Reminded me of Tommy waddling out of the dugout and arguing with the home plate umpire. Plus, the Bowa outburst also seemed to rally the offense. The three game suspension was worth it - We're behind ya' Larry, keep the fire burning!

Thursday (0, 4, 6, 3) edition: Wha’ Happened?
Randball — In the very fortunate absence of some sort of spring tragedy that has befallen the club in recent years, the Twins might be looking for a commemorative patch as a symbol of their season. Might we suggest, then, the item to your right, honoring — and this is great — the USS Pivot, aptly named and numbered 463 (or, if you prefer, the patch could perhaps be altered to read 4-6-3 for the Twins). The Twins hit into four such double plays last night, including the 4-6-3 master himself, Joe Mauer, coming off the bench to finish off the game with another ill-timed grounder to second. Your final score: 1-0 Angels. ...

When Will Larry Bowa Realize He’s Not Bigger Than The Game?
seamheads.com 4/4/2008 — Some say rules are made to be broken. Others say rules are rules. Most say two wrongs don't make a right. In Bowa's case, he thinks the rules don't apply… but do many wrongs make a right? With two on and two out in a 0-0 game in the sixth inning, Larry Bowa decided this crucial moment in the game was the time to test Ed Montague.

Outside Box Gets Bowa EjectedBronx Liaison
I saw this incident live last night and no way did Larry Bowa deserve to be ejected from the game. Bowa was merely standing five or so feets outside the coaches third base box when the nearby ump, Ed Montague, decided to stop the game and tell him to get back into the box. At first Bowa calmly explained he couldn't see the outfield well enough - with men on first and second - to gauge whether ...

What To Expect From Scott RolenToronto Blue Jays
When 3rd baseman Scott Rolen made the trek up north from St. Louis in exchange for potential HGH user Troy Glaus, the Blue Jay faithful seemed to universally embrace the trade. While Glaus had solid power numbers in his first year as a Jay, it became a common sight to see Glaus limp off the field after a groundout. Glaus was never a rangy fielder and various foot injuries did not help. Rolen ...
