Like I said, times have changed. If the Haller/Weaver tete a tete happened today, Haller would be suspended for saying "F*ck you, Earl."
Umpires, players and managers all had salty language and no one cried to mommy about it and no one lied about it, playing the race card. The San Diego first base coach set a new low for rats. No more. MLB wants the umpires to clean up their act. Unfortunately F*cking pieces of sh!t like Bradley don't have to, but that's the game today. The umpires have been put on notice and they will simply have to play the game under the new rules. Have I used profanity? Sure. I've told whining adult league batters to shut up and get in the f*ckin' box more than once. Suspend me.

Umpires, managers and players have referred to one another by that name for years. Usually, however, umpires didn't initiate it, they repeated it in their replies. I am not blaming Bradley for what Winter's did, but I agee that had Bradley not charged Winters and had the first base coach not lied, this would not have risen to the level it has. But the fact is, it has risen to higher level and Winters must pay the consequences of his action.

That works. I think I'll send Bradley a get well card with a special message.

I only once lowered myself to the level of swearing at a player in an "adult" league game. I balked the pitcher, who had a reputation of being a no talent whiner. His first response was to come off the mound and get in my face, telling me "you're a blind MF'er, and that youdon't know WTF your're doing". My response was, " well, you're a gone MF'er, and I"m a much better umpire then you are a pitcher".
I turned and walked away. His team mates escorted him off the field, he got in his car and drove away.

Hey all,
The way I see it, Bradley did something wrong, but not enough for ejection. Later, Bradley initiates a situation, Winters escalated it, Bradley blows up. Winters deserved a punishment for the escalation, Bradley got what he deserved for blowing up. Umpires, especially at the MLB level, should not, and apparantly cannot, go onto the field with total immunity from their actions. Maybe I am alone in this, but I think Meachum should get some sort of punishment for the LYING, not once, but two or three times, about what took place in the process of an investigation, as well.

Hmmmm....
The worst thing I have ever said to a participant in a game I was working was, "SHUT UP!". (To an assistant assistant coach keeping score who felt compelled to insert himself into a conversation I was having with the head coach.) I generally try to be more polite than that. But hey, I'm still pretty new at this. JM

To quote you "rats" is the term, yes? So your advice is to scurry right on down into their holes with them? My goodness.
