Two wild and crazy guys

I'd like to thank the crazy fans from Toronto, who dress as umpires and call the games from the stands. Toronto embarrassed the Sox this week and the games would have been downright painful to watch had it not been for the umpire fans.

Here is Don and Jerry's commentary on the umpire guys. The are behind the plate, just to the right, barely in the frame. (It's worth enlarging the video)

They are most entertaining when they ring up a guy on a called third strike:

Awesome.

Sooner or later, he was bound to explode... Fight Night 2009

Classic. Not only did Youk charge the mound after getting hit by a pitch yet again, but he actually chased the scared young pitcher and threw his helmet at him. Notice Penny, who came out to join the party as Youkilis was leaving the field.

Once the dust settled, Bay tied the score and Francona, still a little worked up, got himself tossed. That fired him up even more. After the toss, is some awesome commentary by Eck on Brad Penny's late arrival and shower shoes.

John Smoltz and Josh Beckett are a deadly combination. Just ask George Kottaras

In the batting adventure that was Sunday's Sox-Orioles 18-10 (is that right? I lost track) debacle, the boys in the dugout got a little bored. Nothing like the bubble on the head trick to liven up a 4 hour blowout. Thank you, John Smoltz.
