And there he goes, number 132 for Bobby Cox!

Braves manager Bobby Cox broke the known record for ejections that he held with John McGraw tonight in Atlanta when umpire Ted Barrett ran Cox for arguing balls and strikes in the fifth inning.

After the ejection, a taped tribute from McGraw was played on the scoreboard telling Cox to "Go &*^ himself!"

It was an old tape.

Hilarious.

I really think John McGraw's refusal to follow Bobby Cox around in anticipation of the record-breaking moment speaks volumes about what McGraw thinks of Cox.

Sure, Cox hold the record now, but I'll never forget how McGraw set the standard with such a quiet lack of dignity.

There goes one of the greatest managers of all time.

For the 132nd time.

Cox has the superior EGR (Ejections to Games Ratio) to boot.

He's not done folks! 133 and counting, thanks to a horrendous balk call by none other than Angel Hernandez.
