Something I can't beleive.. In all the RZ> years that I've watched baseball, I've never seen a person spit in RZ> the face of an umpire.. I mean, sure they mouth off to them or RZ> possibly get physical every once in a while, but I've never seen RZ> them spit at one. But too often I've seen umps chase players into the dugout ala Hirschbeck, and instigate the confrontation. Alomar was IN HIS DUGOUT and through with the conversation about the TERRIBLY botched call Hirschbeck made before the ump called him OUT of the dugout to prolong the argument. When Roberto came out, he was ejected IN A PENNANT RACE for an argument instigated by Hirschbeck. That's when the fireworks started. And the spitting was still wrong. RZ> I know their are agreements to protect players from being suspended RZ> in post regular season, but doesn't it make sense if you do the RZ> crime that you should pay for the crime?? Give me a break.. At least RZ> the fans are telling Alomar what they think of him.. And what will be Hirschbeck's punishment? He hunted Roberto down the next day to "kill him" and got NOTHING. * RM 1.31 1874 * Look, Bones, it's Captain Flintstone!

TM> Alomar has had three years to give this opinion. What a coincidence TM> that it comes out just after he spit on him. I'm sure the two TM> incidents are unrelated. Alomar had just been tossed by Hirschbeck (for the second time this year, and the ONLY two times he'd been ejected at all) and was asked why he was ejected. If a player gets tossed twice by the same ump, and by no others all year, then perhaps there is personal animosity involved. Alomar had until this debacle showed proper class and baseball etiquette all year. He's not the criminal you would like to believe he is. * RM 1.31 1874 * Always make stupid moves.
