I am surprised at all of you for not understanding the batters intentions! We need to find out why this batter said the "F" bomb and understand his frustration with the situation. There was an obvious conflict with the called strike which the batter carried through his entire at-bat. It is shameful that all of you would simply eject this person without a full understanding of his situation on the field and yes, even his personal situation and feelings. Ejections are just a lack of understanding on the part of the official. I personally pride myself on throughly questioning the individual in this type of situation so that I may acquire a full understanding of the situation.

Pause while I take more medication!

There, now as I was saying, the present day acceptance of being an understanding official just sickens me - dump the ingrate!

I agree. We don't know what kind of hard life the batter may have had. In fact, I'm getting kind of teary just thinking about it. When a player tells us to go f*** ourselves, perhaps we should look deep within our consciences and ask whether he has a point. Maybe our best response would be just a smile.

That reminds me, we of the Peace and Love Coalition invite you to a candlelight march on July 1 at 9 p.m. to persuade the governor of New Jersey to pardon a serial kill . . . uh, person with difficult-to-meet needs. We know he deserves this pardon, because he has written a lot of poetry in jail and spoken out strongly against world hunger. Also, there's some question about the legality of the search of his basement when they supposedly "found" the 23rd body. At least a dozen Hollywood stars will be there. The march begins at the statehouse. See you in Trenton!

Now that's just a little too much, even here in California the land of fruits and nuts. Which reminds me of a little joke. Why is California like Granola Cerial? Once you gets past the fruits and nuts all you have left are the flakes.
