Drake had no business pointing at Gonzalez. Just toss him and be done with it. Umpires hate getting shown up, so why point fingers and show up the players?

Gonzalez clearly got what he deserved, but Drake just makes it worse (and makes himself look bad) by dropping down to the same level as players/managers that want to throw fits.

Drake was brutal behind the plate, and he had probably been hearing about it for the entire game.

We San Diegans are very happy that he is the new lead TV play-by-play guy.

Once a rat always a rat I guess. Here's another jem from old Dick: Baseball Video Highlights & Clips | SD@HOU: Mills tossed for arguing balls and strikes - Video | MLB.com: Multimedia
