Anyway, we've talked a bit about the reaction of the umpire and his useless partner. What I want to know is: what's the deal with the idiot 1B coach? Am I missing something, because it sounds like the call was correct, so what the h3ll was his problem?

And from the stories you've told, and other Canadian posters have mentioned, what's the deal up there? Is it just because you guys can finally go outside without freezing to death, that players/coaches lose their minds on the field? Or is pent-up aggression from watching the Stanley Cup playoffs? Holy smokes!

Unfortunately I do not have a great basis for comparison with my neighbours to the south, because I've only umpired there on a couple occasions. I do get the picture that you guys pay better and have more baseball leagues, but that's about all I can tell.
