Why do some make it such a BIG deal?

[MD Longhorn]

Given that the events happened as you state, I would agree that the umpire made a way bigger show of it than necessary. This is not something you would generally threaten an ejection over unless there is a LOT of other things going on in this game. If you've not taken this incident out of context by removing other problems from the discussion, PU probably should have simply said, "Coach, stay in the dugout please".

That said - are you telling me you aren't aware of a rule that tells you how many coaches can be on the field and where they can be? Really? You said you had umpired. I find this very hard to believe. You think you can just mill around wherever you want? While it sounds like PU's manner was way off - he was right in one thing... GET OFF THE DANG FIELD.

(And edited to add... what does

I got a speeding ticket last week. There was a sign and everything on the road. I tried to call the state highway dept to tell them it was their fault but they still refused to pay the ticket. Right before they started laughing at me and hung up the phone.

have to do with ANYTHING?
