Head-Shaken McLaren Ejected

Seattle Mariner manager John McLaren earned his first ejection as manager of the Mariners today. If memory serves me McLaren was ejected as Lou Pinella's bench coach back in their Tampa Bay days in a game at Fenway a couple of years back. McLaren's a pure head-shaker in the tradition of Jerry Narron when he gets riled up by umpiring ineptness.

If you have the access you can catch it at 1:19:30 of Sunday's game on MLB.com. But you should watch the previous two minutes to get a feel for why he argued balls and strikes with home plate umpire Chad Fairchild.
