Cowboy Joe Rips Yankees/Red Sox

[Rich]

I'm a Phillies fan and was watching the home opener on MLB Extra Innings today while trying to get some work done for my day job.

Howard was batting and Paul Schreiber called a ball on a pitch that, according to PitchFX, was at the knee. Two pitches later, Howard got a hit.

Riggleman came out to the mound and waited for Schreiber. He got about 5 words out and Schreiber tossed him. The announcers then spent the next 10 minutes ripping the crew and especially Joe West, who was at the mound coming in to play rodeo clown, if needed after the ejection. It got ugly -- both announcers were ripping West and saying how out of line he was and maybe the games would be quicker if they called more strikes.

For the Nationals, of course.

That loser franchise has a perfect set of (loser) announcers.
