I've never been a big Ozzie guy as a manager, but I must say, I loved the way he came out and exploded on that umpire tonight. There is no doubt in the players minds who he backs right now. He knew he was going to be tossed, but enough was enough and he had to tell that guy to f*** off. Now if he will tell or encourage his pitchers to hit a few guys, I think the Sox are back in business, at least I hope so considering how much money I had to pay them on Monday.
I did too. It looked very much like the home plate ump was waiting for West to call the balk when he made the call. They showed both of them on replay, the throw to first was made, he hesitates both times, and then calls the balk. MLB has to wonder why Buehrle has 4 balks all year, and all 4 of them were called by this crew.
