Polk or Piniella??

I have a dislike for Ron Polk just as much as the next Ole Miss fan. I will give him credit that he is a good coach, but he complains and cries way to much about umpires. He has already been thrown out once this season.

The thing I do not like about the whole situation is the fact USM went as far as sending police on the field. This is uncalled for at no point should police be called in to escort a coach off of the field. This sounds like some stunt the fools that manage our game and Cobra security would do. I could just imagine some of our UPD and Cobra on the field. Disagree if you will, but I find this to be quite an embarresment for Polk and the way USM handled the situation. Below is the Clarion Ledger story.

Mississippi State baseball coach Ron Polk was suspended by the Southeastern Conference for tonight's game against Southern Miss.
Though Polk was ejected from Tuesday night's game in Hattiesburg, it was not his conduct on the field that drew the one-game penalty. Instead, it was his post-game comments to the media that warranted the suspension, said MSU athletic director Larry Templeton."It is very clear what the conference's policy is on commenting on the officiating," Templeton said.Following a bizarre, 13-6 loss to the Golden Eagles at Taylor Park, Polk was critical of the umpiring crew, specifically first base umpire Joseph Smith."Umpires are umpires, but he was just incompetent," Polk told reporters. "He was so scared out there he was hyperventilating."

After walking past USM assistant director for game management Jareel Combest, Polk was confronted by campus security."They told me I was going to be arrested if I didn't get off the field," Polk told reporters Tuesday. "For what? Arguing a call?"Polk left and spent the rest of the game in USM's batting cage.
