You've got to remember that Gammons is a fan boy as he's a season ticket holder at Boston.

When was this ejection? Video?

Gammons is a tool.

Game was last night, the fight affair, the ejection happened in the bottom of the second.

Detroit vs. Boston - August 11, 2009 | MLB.com: Gameday

Video is in the wrap: Francona is ejected arguing close play.


The shoulder shrug was innocent, the camera just got it and Gammons wanted to be a prick and take a shot on national tv at a younger umpire. Ballsy move Peter.

My best guess, Barry was readjusting the feel of his shirt and what not after the ej mechanic.

I saw it this morning on the highlights...............seemed pretty innocent at the time......in no way did I take any negative from it.....

Gammons is being overly sensitive....

Gammons is having more trouble than anyone should have accepting that he's no longer a real journalist.

And can somebody keep me posted if one of those proposed trades he always blathers about ever gets made?

Thanks. I ended up seeing it about 12 times either online or on ESPN after I posted that last night. Very tough call, but it looks like he got it right. (And the umpire ejection fantasy league website said so too )

I wouldn't have a problem with the Sox going 0-162 but I thought he was safe. It looked to me like he hit the base and was starting to pop up before the tag.

I wonder what Francona said because it was after he'd turned his back and started to walk away.
