We've got two clowns in Toronto imitating Umpires.
They sit right behind home plate.
:bang:
It was mildly amusing at first, but now it is just down right irritating.
These two have been served 5 beers each already, and it's only the 3rd inning.


I say throw these two bozos out on their collective rear ends.

They did a story about those clowns on ESPN. They'd piss me off after a while too. Any clue on the ticket price for those seats? They can't be cheap.

I'd guess that those seats are worth about $200 each. These guys wreck the telecast for me. I imagine others must feel the same way. Can't the league step in and stop these guys?

You would think so.... Hell, they removed a guy from Yankee stadium for going to the restroom during the National Anthem.

They were in DC about a month ago for a couple of games, sitting right behind home plate. Funny at first, then I found it hard to concentrate on the game, I was staring at them the entire time.

However, as a Nationals fan, anything taking me away from the actual game can be a good thing.

They just removed a guy in LA for wearing a funky blue leotard and stretching in the bleachers.

Please tell me it wasn't Tommy Lasorda or Fernando Valenzuela

Point of language usage. That is "86", not "46".

Sadly, there was a partial building collapse at Chumley's a few years back and I don't think it has been reopened. It was a fun sort of place and all the secret exits still worked and some were still part of the regular coming and going.

Point of language usage back at you...."86" means dead... I was referring to our anti taser friend 46zilzal..

Ah, I see, inside reference, not the vulgar....I guess if I actually paid any attention to 46's posts any more I might have had some idea of what you were talking about

I've seen these guys during a few games before. I don't mind them in small doses, but I can certainly understand how regulars at the Skydome/Rogers Center would get annoyed by the sideshow.
