I was at Wrigley a couple times this year and clearly heard a couple of those monsters say, "Ball, outside" or "Ball, low" and almost peed my pants.
Judging by your previous post, I can tell you don't umpire at a high level. First of all, if a manager asks you where a pitch was - you answer the question with a location, NOT a smart a$$ remark.

And as for you almost wetting your pants because of certain styles of MLB umpires, well that's why you PAY for a ticket to get in the game and those guys you make fun of are PAID to work those games. Enjoy being a baseball FAN because I know you're not a baseball umpire.
