Rabbit ears???

You can expect some of this during a close game, especially in a professional game.

Personally I think it makes the umpires look like a joke.

To pull some guy who readily admits that he has never umpired any game and put him on third base gives people the impression that anyone can do the job. How would you like him making the judgement calls against your team when he doesn't even know what judgement calls are his???

"Rabbit ears" is a phrase a rat uses when he wants to be able to run his mouth at the umpires without any repercussions. And anyone that even utters that phrase may as well head to the clubhouse -- it's almost automatic that saying I have rabbit ears will result in an ejection.
