Seattle Mariners manager John McLaren launches into an expletive-laced tirade

06-04-2008
Along with another lost homestand, something else became outwardly apparent with the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday.

The Mariners, a team with so little vocal leadership that it's difficult to gauge just how they feel, say they are ticked off.

Moments after the Los Angeles Angels completed a three-game sweep with a 5-4 victory at Safeco Field, manager John McLaren launched into an More.. expletive-laced tirade.

Team president Chuck Armstrong lashed out at McLaren and the coaching staff before the game.

Left fielder Raul Ibanez said he's more frustrated and embarrassed than at any point in his career.

Relief pitcher Arthur Rhodes paced the clubhouse with a scowl and some angry words, then kicked a trash can and threw a couple of shoes.

General manager Bill Bavasi, who called out the team less than two weeks ago for poor play and a lack of clubhouse leadership, ordered the players to be at their lockers when reporters were allowed into the clubhouse after the game.

Bavasi also shut down the postgame meal and made other areas of the clubhouse, where many players often have avoided the media after games, off-limits.

Bavasi, as he did late last month, said McLaren's job is safe.

"He's not at the plate with guys on first and second and leaving them there," Bavasi said.

The Mariners, who left Wednesday night on a six-game road trip to Boston and Toronto, are 15½ games behind the Angels in the American League West. Their 21-39 record is the worst in baseball.
