Dodgers coach Larry Bowa criticizes suspension

Dodgers third base coach Larry Bowa said the three-game suspension he was handed by the commissioner's office Wednesday was "more ludicrous" than the new rule that he protested by screaming in the face of umpire crew chief Ed Montague to get himself thrown out of the previous night's game.

The sixth-inning explosion, during which Montague said Bowa hit him with the tip of his helmet and shoved Manager Joe Torre into him, also resulted in Bowa's being fined an undisclosed amount. The point of contention was a new rule that forbids base coaches to cross the lines of their designated boxes toward home plate or the field until batted balls pass them -- a rule Bowa said was concocted by "people in New York that wear the coats and ties and don't get on the field" and prevents him from performing his duties properly.

"For getting kicked out of the game and to get a three-game suspension, that's a joke," Bowa said. "It's totally uncalled for. You got guys that tested positive for steroids and they admitted they took them. No suspensions. I get kicked out of a game and get three games plus fined? There's no justice."

Full story.

I love this guy! There's nothing else I can really say...
