May 13, 200916 yr I was unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) stuck at work today and unable to follow the action of the game. However, a friend is trying to tell me that Ozzie was ejected for farting on the home plate umpire. The recap on espn.com states it was for arguing balls and strikes....and makes no mention of flatulence. Can someone please confirm or deny whether Ozzie passed gas in the general direction of the home plate umpire resulting in his ejection? Thanks.
May 13, 200916 yr Ozzies ninja farts are toss-worthy apparently. Did he cup and throw it? I hate that.....
May 13, 200916 yr Ozzie was mocking the umpire after the Dye call... Buehrle had a strike called in his favor when the Indians came up, and Ozzie was in the dugout motioning that HE actually thought it was low (he put his hands down below his knees) and then smiled towards home plate and just laughed for about 15 seconds. Of course, he was just trying to be sarcastic, it was one of those days for the offensive White Sox offense. Edited May 13, 200916 yr by caulfield12
May 13, 200916 yr Is there a picture yet where Ozzie is looking like he is farting towards the umpire? Thats gotta be a caption contest

May 13, 200916 yr I would give anything to see the game recap: Pitches-strikes: Buehrle 98-68, Linebrink 21-16, Lee 113-83, Betancourt 12-9, Wood 10-7. Groundouts-flyouts: Buehrle 10-5, Linebrink 0-2, Lee 8-4, Betancourt 1-2, Wood 1-1. Batters faced: Buehrle 29, Linebrink 4, Lee 27, Betancourt 4, Wood 3. EjectionsChicago White Sox Manager Ozzie Guillen ejected by HP umpire Mike DiMuro for offensive flatulence. (6th); Chicago White Sox right fielder Jermaine Dye ejected by HP umpire Mike DiMuro. (6th). Umpires: HP: Mike DiMuro. 1B: James Hoye. 2B: Dale Scott. 3B: Jerry Meals. Weather: 64 degrees, cloudy. Wind: 15 mph, Out to CF. T: 2:23. Att: 23,884. May 13, 2009
May 14, 200916 yr Author So from the replys, it sounds like several other posters have heard this story.....however, I've yet to see the incident detailed in any media account of the game? Can anyone verify for a fact that Ozzie farted on the ump? If it's true, I imagine a large suspension is forthcoming because farting on an ump is worse than spitting on one and Alomar received five games when he layed a lugee on John Hirschbeck.

May 14, 200916 yr finally his mouth and ass are in harmony It would be difficult to prove intent. I can't see how they could ring him up when it can so easily be called an accident.

I can't see how they could ring him up when it can so easily be called an accident. Most of the times that a player or manager bumps an umpire, its clearly an accident with no intent. However, they are still suspended. If the ump heard Ozzie "toot" in his direction or noticed the odor of a "silent but deadly" bomb, I gotta believe that they would file a report with the league office and pursue a suspension.

Not the same thing at all. We are talking about an involuntary, at times, bodily function. It would be like pursuing a suspension because he was sweating.
