Joe Maddon is a coward.

Maddon said that Johnson was “underhanded” and that the umpires’ checking of Peralta’s glove was “possibly a form of cheating” and cowardly. He said the Nationals were willing to rat on former teammates and hinted that free agents might want to think twice before heading to Washington.

Joe Maddon was OK with one of his players crashing into rookie Yankee catcher Francisco Cervelli and injuring him so badly that Cervelli missed several weeks ... in a 2008 spring training game.  That same spring training season Maddon's team also had incidents with the Red Sox and Mets.  All to show how tough he and his Tamp Bay Rays were.  Worst part about it was that it worked.  The three teams that he attacked did not retaliate.

Now, however, when opposing manager Davey Johnson gets the better of him, Maddon reacts like the coward that he is.  Shame on Joe Maddon.
