What the Hell Is Wrong with Jose Offerman?

Offerman detained after slugging umpire (AP/ESPN.com)

I think it's safe to say Jose Offerman has anger issues. After going all Juan Marichal on an independent league pitcher and catcher in 2007, Offerman, now a manager, has punched an umpire during a game in the Dominican Republic. Vin Scully Is My Homeboy has video of the "attack," which is pretty wimpy — but hey, a punch is a punch. Offerman makes Milton Bradley look like Barney the dinosaur. How does he keep getting jobs?

He's real charming in interviews?

One moment after that picture, he turned into the (Grey) Hulk.

I expected his punch to be thrown wide.
