The following Dodgers have been smited by the JDK for their crimes against Jam:
All the girls! for picking on the JDK and damaging his already delicate self esteem!
The Basserd Who Nicked Copper's Stuff For the offense of nicking Copper's stuff. You are a tw*t, whoever you are and we all hope you get run over by a tram in Nottingham. Or Liverpool. Or whereever else they have trams!
Copper For the crime of playing with her Wii instead of her Jammie pals!
Not sure if this received much attention across the Atlantic but check out the freak show that this minor league coach put on after disagreeing with a Umpire's call on a play:
Hehehe I watched that on the news last night... the silliest thing was that he was just kinda half kicking dirt at the umpire and then he went to home plate and covered it with dirt.. it all seemed so rediculous.
the ASHEVILLE TOURISTS!!!! that's the ONLY team i know anything about (i went to school like 20 minutes from asheville) - haha, awesome, they made the news whoooo
Since I know as much about baseball as I do about heart surgery, is kicking dirt on the umpire's shoes supposed to mean something? Is it like the super insult? I don't get it, why not just kick the guy in the shins?
My suspicion is that were he to make physical contact with the umpire, he'd get kicked out of the game and probably suffer a penalty including a match ban and/or fine. So he kicks dirt instead.
Mostly you see them kicking dirt on the plate or messing up the chalk lines. I think they partly do this because the umpire has to fix it (clean the plate, or have the lines fixed by the ground crew). I wish I could find some video of a good Lou Pinella rant, he was/is the best at them.
Ha ha ha.... I was telling a coworker ,who was having an issue with IE (needed to disable Script debugging, someone built a dodgy web page), that I was in the mood to take a dive towards 2nd base by the time I figured out it was that particular SNAFU default IE setting mucking up my program!!!
