Manuel too.

Seems like the Commish expects the umpires to be the grown-ups on the field. Is that bad?

One day off, maybe Bob will find time to shave. He is far too busy to shave on a daily basis when he is working games.

What a pathetic slob he is...an embarrassment.

was just reading that on ESPN. Wonder what they mean by "repeated violations" - ???

Thanks

It will be news if they fire him. Not going to happen, but we can wish I guess.

Peace

Personally, I find him and Joe to be the only old school guys left. I found the Davidson/Manuel argument entertaining and it's too bad MLB is so politically correct now.

I'd never act like that on a field, but then again the stakes are a helluva lot lower, too.

Those argument are fun...but, looking like a slob makes him a joke.

He does the balks just to be seen.

This is what Yahoo Sports had to say about Davidson ...

Also known as "Balkin' Bob" for his propensity to call balks no other umpire would, Davidson is mostly known for his short temper and poor attitude among players. He's the kind of umpire who thinks fans pay admission to watch him

Thanks

Here's the related video. I'm not sure what has Charlie so riled up. Davidson made the right call and made it on time.

So shaving on a daily basis makes him a bad umpire? Some people can't shave on daily basis because their skin is too sensitive. I know because I'm one. Now that the razor blades are so far advanced, I can shave every two days without all the irritation.

Personally, I don't think your attitude isn't any better than Davidson's. What a horrible partner you must make.

It makes me happy to be criticized by you.

That all sounds great, but he looks like a homeless man that is looking for something to drink out of a bottle. And that sounds like a terrible excuse as there are many ways to not have a face full of hair that makes you look like you did not take a bath that day. Heck I do not have to shave every day either and can go a few days without looking like I just do not care. Appearance does mean something and he looks terrible. And it does not help that he cannot do the other stuff right or is involved in constant controversy.

Peace

Hell, I enjoyed that and I think Davidson did too. Some days you just have to give back. You know, kind of like all the experts wannabe here that haven't registered one minute at the Pro level but know everything about it .Opinions are truly, well you know the line.

Davidson is just old and weatherbeaten. When the umpires resigned, he was one of them. He was one the fortunate ones to get their job back, but he had to work his way back up from the minors AGAIN. I don't really pay that close of attention to them, except when they're behind the plate on TV.

PS-Not caring is your forte to say the least, Jeff..................
