This past weekend, Phillies OF Shane Victorino was ejected – from center field – for whining about calls. Today, he’s whining about something else. Someone threw a beer on him. So, naturally, Victorino filed a police report. Really, man?! I root for the guy, if nothing else, because he’s from Hawaii, but this is getting pretty ridiculous. Getting hit with a beer is part of the game, not assault. What ever happened to charging up into the stands and fighting everyone in sight when you get hit with a beer?! While Ron Artest and Stephen Jackson are taking on the entire city of Detroit, Shane Victorino is down at the 19th District police station crying about a beer. This is exactly why baseball players get the reputation for being soft. What’s next, suing for defamation of character after when a fan calls you a “bum”?

You guys.... YOU GUYS! Watch out for Shane! He'll get PISSED if you get champagne on him!!"
