Everyone loves a good manager-umpire argument. They're fun.

But no one argues like minor league managers. No one.

So, on the heels of the latest and greatest minor league manager meltdown, which saw Norfolk Tides manager Gary Allenson scale a wall, I bring you the best manager freak out I can remember....

By now, you know my affinity for bad songs, rap or otherwise, made by professional athletes in the 1980s...but this is something really, really special.

Some unidentifiable Pats (at least to me) make an appearance, and one of them decides to do a bad Stevie Wonder impression...then Craig James gets a great closeup as he rhymes "Ray Ber-ry" with beating the Bears "100 to 3". Ugh.

And what's with that sportscaster breaking out the glock during a newscast and pointing it at a stuffed bear that has clearly been taken hostage? Man, some things were better in the 80s....

On Saturday, Marmion Academy will face the Kaneland Knights, who will be throwing ace Bobby Thorson, despite throwing a complete game on Saturday and throwing 18 high stress pitches in picking up the save in the Knights' victory Wednesday.

When I asked Marmion catcher Kyle Kozak about facing Thorson, this is what he said:
"We'll be fine. We'll hit him. The (press) loves him. I think he's a little bit overrated. We'll come out and we'll hit him. We'll hit him."

Thorson, along with teammates and the Kaneland coaching staff, was on hand to scout the Cadets - though it was Rochelle starter Sean Hudson was the one to add some bulletin board material of his own.

"Kaneland is definitely a tougher lineup to face," said Hudson, who faced the Knights once this season. "Kaneland is full of athletes."

Saturday's sectional championship was moved up to 10 a.m. to accommodate Kaneland's graduation ceremony later in the afternoon.

It's not basketball season, but some big news came out of the Geneva girls basketball program today.

Athletic director Jim Kafer announced the hiring of longtime sophomore coach Sarah Meadows as the new varsity head coach, and then the family of junior Ashley Santos announced that the 86th rated player in the country (for the class of 2012) verbally committed to Marquette University.

The Beacon News reported today that Aurora Christian Schools has been sued for the rest of a loan payment.

No one knows yet if this means the school won't make it through the summer - but if it doesn't, there will be a very, very talented senior class of athletes looking for a new school to finish out their high school career.

Stay tuned.

Geneva QB Matt Williams has verbally committed to Northern Illinois University.
