Gravy umpires dictate games...I have been thrown out of a game one time as a manager. We were playing in the section championship and u think we would get a good ump. Well this fuker was so bad worse then the Marlins series way back. I keep my composure all fuking game and then in the 6th in a 2-1 game we sent a runner and they pitched out. The catcher jumped out to get the ball and threw the ball into centerfield. Next thing I know the umpire is throwing my player out of the game. Then I realized the fuker called strike three. My player told him he was a fuking piece of chit. So, I go out there and aruge it was a pitchout etc. to no avail. Then I asked him do you ever wonder why your games only last an hour and a half. Then he tossed me. After the game I told the commissioner it was fuking pathetic in a championship game you could get someone this fuking pathetic. He agreed. Did us no fuking good we lose game 2-1. Here is the topper though. A few weeks later at an all star game I see some coaches I know and they told me on that pitchout you could have put another plate next to the original and it would have still be to far outside. I remember that fukers name and will never forget it. :scared
