Sounded close

the ump was moving towards Z
Z pushed him away while he was approaching him.

Oh Goody
Zambrano just cost himself another start. Maybe two.
What a clown.
I don’t care how close the ump was. You don’t touch the ump. It’s freaking non-negotiable and everyone knows it.
He was having such a good day too.
There is no such thing as an ugly female breast
Z cost himself a pinch hit next week.
Proud recipient of a hot dog shot from the Iowa Cubs hot dog gun.
Dude...pitchers get suspended long enough to miss starts
Five games for a pitcher is one game for a position player.
There is no such thing as an ugly female breast
Umps shouldn't touch players either . . . I don't think the league will do anything here.
Maybe a fine or small suspension for throwing the ball . . .
Maybe he'll just get a technical balk.
As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.

See! There should be technical balks!
Then he’d still be in the game!

yeah nothing fopr the bump
but what about the throwing of the ball, is there precedent?

Duke has ~100 pitches
Come on guys, take advantage of it, and let’s get to him! Patience at the plate, dammit!
Which is why they should be fined...
…or ejected if they get in the face of a player and/or encourage this kind of behavior.
I don't have video here at work, so i can't comment on this one specifically...
… but i have felt like this season has been full of stories about the umps. That in and of itself shouldn’t be happening. They should be transparent, a phantom in the game. We are heading towards NBA level bad / game changing calls on a weekly basis, both with the Cubs and elsewhere in the loge.

Wild pitch by Zambrano scored the run on a close play. Zambrano argued and either bumped or was bumped or was in the grassy knoll or smeared by the Illuminati or some other conspiracy. He was ejected.

My pal’s pretty down – just called me to break the news. I was too stoked about Johnson’s homer to commiserate though.
I figured out how to do
split screen on my TV, so I saw the Johnson HR and the end of the game.
Tell your pal Man U at least won their league. They at least won something
Definitely
I think his big beef was that they didn’t play with any fire or cohesion after the first ten minutes. So he claims. I’m still at work so I split between the gamecasts.
