Take That, Water Cooler...OUCH!

Final Score: Water cooler 1, Kenny Rogers 0

Of all the things that could happen right now to the Texas Rangers: Kenny Rogers, the man with the best ERA in the American League, will miss his scheduled start Tuesday against the Angels after punching a water cooler during his last home start 2 weeks ago. (full story)

Fortunately it was Rogers' non-throwing hand, but don't these guys realize the potential problems tantrums like this can cause themselves and their teammates? I've been known to punch, throw or kick inanimate objects myself when I get angry while playing sports, but there's one huge difference: I don't play the sport for a living.

John Wasdin will start Tuesday in place of The Gambler...Rangers have to be keeping their fingers crossed that he can step up and provide a boost for a team that is very close to finding themselves completely out of the AL West race...
