ESPN: "Are ejections getting out of hand?"

What can we expect from such a rat (once a rat, always a rat).

Sheffield did not deserve to be run. His toss of the shattered handle of a bat was nowhere close to the umpire. Sheffield will win on appeal if anyone bothers to look at the replay.

I did see the replay and I thought he deserved to be run. Evidently so did an MLB Umpire, which is why there is even a debate about this in the first place.

Not your typical "fire so-and-so" site. They readily admit they're not really trying to get Joe fired. Rather, they just exist to critique and analyze members of the media who say "dumb" things. It all started with this group of guys because they realized, in watching games, that Joe tended to say one dumb thing after another...which really annoyed them.

This site actually does a very, very good job of analyzing the statements of columnists and broadcasters by producing hard evidence to show that they are wrong (or right!...yes, they sometimes give "props" to people).

Anyways, this site has made it as plain as black and white: Joe and Tim are idiots.

I've been trumpeting this site for years on other boards...these guys are hilarious and reduce baseball to such a simple level it's incredible, all the while pointing out how ridiculous the media is for its overinflation of certain players (ie Eckstein, Jeter)
