Mad Melvin!



Per Jeff Zrebiec of the Baltimore Sun, Orioles third baseman, Melvin Mora is not at all a happy camper and believes that he is being "disrepected" by manager, Dave Trembley after being out of the lineup Sunday for the third time in four games.

"I don't appreciate the disrespect, because I've been playing hurt for a guy who won't respect you. I don't deserve it," said Mora. "Whatever he wants to do, he can do it. But like I told you before, I need to have my respect. This is not a guy who just came to the Orioles. This is a guy who's been here for nine years busting his butt for the organization." (I hate when people talk about themselves in the third person. This is a guy writing this post that would never ever do that.)

"I'm a competitor," Mora said. "I don't like to be here and I'm just thinking about in October how I'm going to go on vacation....."

This from a guy who is hitting .256 with three home runs and 27 RBIs and doing this from the five hole.

I think "disrespect" is appropriate and even necessary here.

Sit down you or we let a real angry Oriole handle this.
