Please, use some common sense.

Wait a minute! We may be onto something here...just think of how short the games would be if we did use his interpretation!

I was wrong in saying that thrown equipment is an automatic ejection. I meant that thrown equipment to show up an umpire is an automatic ejection. I must have just not been thinking- it's the long weekend. My gaff, my mistake. Sorry for the uproar I caused.

As someone who watches the Brewers (I have a partial-season plan at Miller Park) I didn't even consider ejection/discipline/anything else. It was the end of a game. These are competitors.

I wouldn't even consider it in a HS game. I don't go around looking for garbage.

If you ever need anyone to take some tickets off your hands, let me know.

Exactly: don't be a plumber.

Even that is not "automatic." Read the MLBUM quote you posted.
