re: Aaron Boone just got ejected for not saying a damn thing

quote:

---

but the umpire told the media afterward that he was not responding to anything that was said from Boone’s direction, by him or a fan, but to something said from the other side of the Yankee dugout and rather than go down there and try to pick out who said it, and to keep a player in the game rather than the manager, he threw Boone out to send a message

He was wrong, and there is video evidence. He would have been better off just admitting he fricked up. Come out AFTER watching the incident replay and say, "Look, it was the heat of the moment; I thought Boone or a coach said something, and I ejected Boone. I was wrong."
