Altercation with Astros GM not good for clubhouse morale

I don't think certain athletes can ever put personal issues aside and get along with their coaches. The Astros Shawn Chacon really put his baseball career in jeopardy. I understand players get frustrated and angry with teammates and coaches yet a clear thinking person knows when they're going too far. Chacon didn't care about injuring or hospitalizing Astros GM Ed Wade by grabbing him by the neck and throwing him to the ground. I don't see why the Astros will bother keeping the pitcher around or if any of his teammates want him around. I think this incident effects clubhouse morale and creates too much negativity compared to the tussles earlier this year with Red Sox's Manny Ramirez and Kevin Youkilis or the D-Rays pitcher/catcher scrape between Matt Garza and Dioner Navarro.

It's stupid yet kind of amusing when players on crappy teams get mad and fight because they misinterpret a signal. They should be paying closer attention to their coach's direction to avoid swinging on a 2-0 thinking it was a hit-and-run as they hit into an inning ending double play instead of a sacrifice bunt to move a runner into scoring position. The same mishap could happen in a dugout after a batter is steamed, slamming his bat into his intended target the wall yet is rather bounces off a water cooler and hits a teammate in the groin. At that point it's no one about the score, being slaughtered 22-0. Players who have issues with one another need to take it out in the parking lot after everyone leaves if they can work out differences by talking.

I don't see how the Astros will have their spirits uplifted after the altercation Shawn Chacon primarily is responsible for or have any sort of positive impact on the Astros' performance. The best thing to do is fined him then drop him like a bad habit. Nobody needs such crazy behavior like that around in a clubhouse. Since the way the confrontation was described as an assault I wouldn't be surprised if the Astros GM filed a lawsuit. So far there are no reports or indication that steroids was linked to the aggressive mean streak. I think the prelude to the manager, player fight will be opposing mascots dishing out punches on the field. If it ever spreads into the seats it may pose a long game delay as stadium security scramble to contain the fracas.
