BILL HOHN tosses two Milwaukee coaches
 

Baseball Video Highlights & Clips | STL@MIL: Sveum and Randolph are ejected - Video | MLB.com: Multimedia

I found these searching for something else on mlb.com No real comment on the ejections...of course they were warranted.

The larger issue here is.....Nooooo! Not the ridiculous 1973 Mustache!

A BRACELET? The MAN IS WEARING A BRACELET. Why is his man wearing a BRACELET?

Larger issue? For whom, Brüno? :rolleyes:

A larger issue for mankind.

How can he come onto a baseball field with that BRACELET and that MUSTACHE. The guy looks like a complete buffoon

For all you know, he's a diabetic biker.

The first ejection came on the heels of a check swing where he called an offer from the plate when the bat barely flinched. Truly horrible call.

The second ejection came when the same thing happened the other way and this time he went to the line umpire who (correctly) ruled "no swing."

I was there. It was fun watching the two coaches get launched.

I guess Willie forgot he wasn't a manager anymore. I can understand the frustration. And, having Pujols up to bat for the second never looks good b/c the appearance that he gets benefits of the call though it was the right one on him. Just bad that PU didn't ask on the first one which appeared almost identical.

Oh well. The next day comes and they at least get to try it again.

My question is why he chooses to wear his ball bags on his @$$? That to me seems stranger then the 'stache or the bracelet.

I don't know about the ball bags, but one thing comes to mind on the moustache: I wonder if he paints it with Just For Men or Krylon. It's hard to tell.

And from asking for the appeal with his right hand to working a knee to ringing the guy up for flinching to tossing a guy from 80 feet away ... Hohn's just plain embarrassing.

Hohn is working the knee now? Last I saw him, he was in the deep scissors like he has always worked. His knee never used to touch the ground though.

Did anybody see Jerry Crawford dump Cincinattti Reds' Votto from U3 on an argued check swing Out call in last night's Padres/Reds game? Votto cursed him immediately, Crawford starts charging towards home, and Votto said something else and from right around 3rd base, Crawford launched him. I had just given my best ejection mechanic, because I knew Crawford would dump him, and no sooner had I given Votto the heave-ho, Crawford followed with his own version. Score one for the old guys!:)

I have wondered about this myself in the past. It's like he has them one loop back from where they belong. I think it has something to do with his deep stance, and it keeps them from getting bunched up between legs and abdomen.

There's a joke here, but even I am not going to go near it ...

Umpire Ejection Fanatsy League
 

The Left Field Corner

According to Left Field Corner, Hohn is tied with Tichenor for the lead in ejections with 6.

For my money, the bracelet has got to be the worst part of the whole deal here. This is worse than the way Robbie Drake used to wear sunglasses on the top of his hat that was on top of his curly mullet.

What would possess a grown man to wear a bracelet?

Better yet, What would make a grown man obsess over another man's fashion decisions?

I think the proper word would be curious. I am curious.

I noticed a few of the MLB guys wearing a those phiten necklaces as well. Last one I remember seeing was the white phiten with the black shirts...I do like that they wear black undershirts under their blacks. For some reason, I just can't like the white under the black which the NCAA guys wore in the CWS...I don't think it will ever look good.

Maybe he likes it. He is old school and alot of umps used to wear them.

A grown man that either plays or officiates baseball games.

The only times in my life I have ever worn a uniform are related to baseball. And I respect and abide by the codes and standards assiduously. There are others who do the same in this narrow realm.

So, it is possible to obsess about men's fashion and not be a regular viewer of the Bravo Channel.

I am sure he likes it. Some people like to listen to Barry Manilow-but we all know that is not something that a normal man would do.

My point is that he looks un-professional and ridiculous. Bracelets on men are for used car salesmen.

Hold on there, Hoss...don't be baggin' on Barry. My musical tastes include a little Manilow and Rod Stewart now and then, to go along with my Andre Nickatina and RBL Posse.

And pimps.

Very meaningful, deep first post! You have quite a way with words, I'll tell ya!:rolleyes:

Come to think of it ... ORENTHAL!!:

In fact, Orenthal has been seen in public a number of times wearing bracelets. Here's a picture of him out of his standard, everyday uniform that clearly shows one of his bracelets:

:D

I'm proud to admit that I didn't know a single one of those song titles.

Nowhere to go from here but up. :D

I can't remember ever ingratiating myself to a new fraternity by throwing out the word pimps.

Even if it was a bunch of pimps, I wouldn't say pimps.

I'm calling Bullsh!t on that answer!:D

Kevin is more of an Andy Gibb fan.

Copacabana, yes. At least no more then three seconds of it even once in my life.

I think I love almost everything in music except male pop singers.

Well then, you have missed some pretty good music is all I can say. But then again, my taste could all just be in my mouth. I like Bay Area Rap, Contemporary Christian Rock, Dirty South, Crunk, Baroque (Fugues by J.S. Bach to be precise), Classical, Classic Rock, Metal, Irish Rebel, Bluegrass, and any Country music that features fiddles and/or steel guitars.

So what if I mix in a little Easy Listening now and then? A little Manilow or Starship just to mellow out is sometimes nice.

Sure it is! If you are a Brecelet-wearer.

Will you wear mine, sweetie?:p
