Do they entertain fans? Yes.

Isn't that what MLB is intended to do? Yes.

What's the big freaking deal. No different than playing YMCA between innings. Who the freak cares.

Pretty funny that the Yankees have nothing better to do with $1K seats than give them to those guys!

These 2 guy are doing exactly what is intended - make you watch the antics! We all know that they are not real umpires so enjoy the show! Personally, I think they have a lot of balls to dress up like that on that side of the fence! Some drunk might just think that they are "fair game".

They don't take themselves seriously, that's what makes them amusing rather than annoying. By the way, they said that some MLB umpires had given them some authentic hats and shirts so obviously the real umpires don't mind them.

there was a story earlier this year about one of the MLB ump's at 2nd base was watching these guys and laughing pretty hard... It might have been Angel Hernandez.. he was watching there mechanics and how they were mimicking the PU... the PU had no idea what was going on until they told him...

Like i said I think there funny...

If you've ever been in the right field bleachers of Yankee Stadium during the playing of YMCA you'll get a new appriciation for the tune. They have their own words, and single out some poor goof wearing the wrong gear. It's hilarious.

That in no way, shape, or form helps your case, Tuss :-)
