Ed Wade - A Real Piece of Work

Here's something I posted almost 3 years ago about Ed Wade. Here's a bit from the post:

Late this summer, Wade repeatedly chewed out closer Billy Wagner - sometimes in person, sometimes over the phone - for comments he read in the newspaper and during contract negotiations. Wagner took this verbal abuse for a while, then got fed up and began hanging up on Wade.

Years earlier, Wade called a team meeting to scream at players. One pitcher said everyone buried their heads in their arms so Wade couldn't see them laughing at him.

Makes you wonder if maybe Shawn Chacon was goaded into his actions. Wade always seemed like a jerk. I'm guessing he won't be long lasting in Houston and that this was perhaps his last shot at being a MLB GM.
