Melvin Mora did all the disrespecting
Over the weekend Melvin Mora lashed out saying that he has felt disrespected after being out of the lineup 3 of the last 4 games. There are a couple things wrong with what Melvin Mora did. First he is being sat down because he is not performing. Mora is hitting .256 with 3 homers and 27 RBI, in my opinion hes lucky Trembley hasn't sat him down earlier. Mora kept mentioning respect in his rant or lack there of when really Mora was the one who was lacking respect towards the team and the more specifically Dave Trembley. If you have a problem with what is going on you address the situation in private not to the nearest reporter that wants to listen. Also this isnt something you would expect from Melvin Mora, who for the most part as been a quiet player who had just gone about his business. I guess Mora feels he has done enough with the Orioles that no matter how bad he is playing he should get the benefit of the doubt and play no matter what. There are only a select few that have that honor, someone like a Cal Ripken or Derek Jeter and no offense to Melvin but he is not quite on their level. All Dave Trembley has to do make the last couple of months of the season as smooth as possible. Melvin is in the last year of his contract and after his performance this season you could almost guarantee he wont be back. It is just unfortunate that Mora had to taint his last couple months of what has been a pretty good run that Mora has had with the Orioles.
