I'm with Atl here - I toss one or two folks a year, but I perceive my objective as keeping players and coaches IN the game. I'm proud of my game when I can successfully diffuse a bad situation. I don't let people run over me, but my job is to umpire. Of course, I try to remember the lines I SHOULD have used - they make great conversation stories and will look good in my expose on umpiring baseball (if I can remember them when it comes time to write the thing).
