Shawn Chacon Gets Medieval On GM Ed Wade

Houston Astros pitcher Shawn Chacon has been suspended indefinitely by the team after getting into a scuffle with general manager Ed Wade. Chacon was already angry over being moved from the starting rotation on Sunday before his confrontation with Wade. The gm’s desire to speak to Shawn Chacon in manager Cecil Cooper’s office led to an altercation.

From the Houston Chronicle:

“I sat down to eat and Ed Wade came to me and very sternly said, ‘you need to come with me to the office.’ I said ‘for what?’ I said ‘I don’t want to go to the office with you and Cooper.’ And I said ‘You can tell me whatever you got to tell me right here.’ He’s like, ‘oh, you want me to tell you right here?’ And I said, ‘yeah.’ I’m not yelling. I’m calm.”

“He started yelling and cussing,” Chacon said of Wade. “I’m sitting there and I said to him very calmly, ‘Ed, you need to stop yelling at me. Then I stood up and said ‘you better stop yelling at me.’ I stood up. He continued and was basically yelling and stuff and was like, ‘You need to (expletive) look in the mirror.’ So at that point I lost my cool and I grabbed him by the neck and threw him to the ground. I jumped on top of him because at that point I wanted to beat his (butt). Words were exchanged.”

There’s a twist, Chacon was doing the roughing up instead of being the one getting slapped around. Shawn was seeking a trade before he channeled his inner Sprewell, and now it’s only a matter of time until the Astros get rid of him. Houston should have no problem moving Chacon since teams are always trying to get their hands on guys that are 2-3 with a 5.04 ERA that will choke your ass if you tell ‘em they’re playing like crap.
