Ed Wade receives his comeuppance from Shawn Chacon

Posted by meech.one at 8:00 am ET 9 Comments

Tell me how Shawn Chacon's ass taste. Yesterday, while dining in the team’s lunch room, Ex-Phillies GM Ed Wade approached recently-demoted pitcher Shawn Chacon as he was eating. (Mistake #1) Wade informed Shawn that he and manager Cecil Cooper would like to have a word with him in his office. This is where it gets good. I’ll let Shawn, via the Houston Chronicle, take it from here,

“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.”

It deteriorated quickly afterward, according to Chacon.

“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 fucking 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 ass. Words were exchanged.”

Unfortunately, other Astro players intervened and broke up the choke session. Shawn has since been “suspended indefinitely.”

I have a newfound respect for every player on the Phillies during Wade’s eight-year tenure. It must’ve taken an incredible amount of restraint for that not to have happened here.

I’m glad that asshole is gone, because I would have done that shit too. Kudos to you Shawn, for standing up to that limp dick.

I saw the headline about Chacon jumping on his GM, and forgot that Mr. Dweeb was now busy ruining Houston’s franchise. It’s that ability to build rapport with his players that made Ed such a desirable GM candidate.

Way to make your players look marketable, Ed. That’s awesome.

My favorite thing about this story is that it’s only the second most embarrassing Wade tale in recent years. A nice encore to skydiving into a tree though.

Why couldn’t Ugie Urbina have done that to Wade?

The most amazing thing about this is that Chacon was able to get his hands around Wade’s Ginormous head. Seriously, the head to body ratio on that guy is at least 2-1.

@Pat H
I think Uooogy would be the only one. Seriously, who on Ed Wade’s teams gave a shit enough to choke hime out? Lieby? Doug Glanville?

You’re right Pat, Urbina should have set wade on fire instead of his poor laborers who were just trying to cool off (a.k.a. throw a skinny-dipping rager) in his pool. Ahhh, the thought of Ed on fire running around the clubhouse, forgetting to stop drop and roll……PRICELESS!!!! What a clown that guy is….I almost peed myself when I saw the Astros hired him. Wouldn’t they have been better off letting the ghost of Ken Camenetti run the show? Well I can’t talk too much sh*t. The Astros helped me hit a two-team parlay last night! PAY ME snitches!!!!

Go Phils!!
