If you're angry and you know it, punch a cooler

Let's add these two to the list of baseball player's bonehead plays. In the spirit of NY Yankee pitcher Kevin Brown's hand-breaking, wall-punching incident of last year (which put him in surgery and lost 23 days of playing time), here are two more gems:

Oliver Perez kicked a laundry basket after a terrible outing against the Cardinals. He broke his toe and was placed on the disabled list.

Kenny Rogers punched a cooler after his bad outing, and broke a bone in his pitching hand. ESPN wrote, "Rogers was visibly upset when umpires ruled that the final Nationals hitter he faced checked his swing on a full-count pitch. Rogers spiked the ball to the ground when Showalter came out to remove him from the game and found the cooler soon after that."

Breaking a bone because of a checked swing? Man, you've got some issues. I guess getting paid millions of dollars a year doesn't mean you're any smarter.

The thing that gets me is that you're super frustrated by your performance that just ran up your ERA to the five or six range, but instead of being able to bring it down in your next outing, you've got to sit on the bench tending to an injury that was entirely your own fault. Waiting around 23 days to make up for a split-second mistake must suck big time.
