Too much ego + Too much champagne + too much testerone = Too much time to figure out what his next career is going to be. I don't feel even a little sympathy for the asshat, since he brought it on himself...

I wonder if the fact that he seems to be a dweeb that looks like a cross between Judd Apatow and Eddie Munster and likely doesn't exactly have his way with the ladies had anything to do with the outburst towards the female reporters. lol

If the Astros rally to win the #WorldSeries, does Taubman get a ring?

His situation will make it difficult to get another job in baseball. I hear Houston has some job openings at Burger King...

My guess is he makes close to 7 figures. If I were to switch industries and have a similar job in another industry I would probably have to take a 30-40% pay cut. He will probably have to take a 90% pay cut. Not to mention that he was probably in line for the next GM opening and a multi million dollar annual salary.

Saying you have a thorough understanding of sabermetrics while interviewing to be an analyst in the Energy industry probably doesn't get you too far........unless your last name is Biden of course. :)

If he doesn't lie and admits it straight from the off with a mea culpa it blows over straight away and he still has his job.
