Can't remember who I got this line from, but it was someone on this board:
"Coach, that's a $50 (or $45, or $70, or whatever an umpire gets paid in the game you're working) call"

I used that line on a coach when he claimed that I missed a pulled foot on a play at 1st (the foot, if pulled, was behind 1B, which is why I couldn't see if it was pulled or not).

Coach: "He pulled his foot!"
Me: "Coach, that's a $73 call."
Coach: "You've been practicing that line, haven't you?"
Me: "It's not a line, coach. It's the truth."
