PITTSBURGH — The Pirates’ Sean Rodriguez was ejected from Wednesday night’s wild-card game after the benches cleared when reliever Tony Watson drilled Cubs ace Jake Arrieta with a fastball.
Easily the angriest person on the field, Rodriguez had to be held back by three teammates. After the ejection, he took his frustration out on a water cooler in the Pirates’ dugout, landing a couple of good blows in anger.
As a result, the internet had a field day. Here are a few of the best Vines and memes:
