Seeing that Wright State coach get ejected and then go crazy made me think of this. Bull Durham would have us believe it is cocksucker. Anybody else know any other magic words that get managers tossed?

Eta: What's the best zinger you've ever heard mangers/players use to get tossed?

I think it's c-sucker and maybe mafricker. On edit, that's what I always heard for NBA.

I read somewhere that the magic word is "you". Makes it personal. Not sure how much I believe that. The whole thing is obviously personal to begin with.

i would think it depends on how Umpshow an ump wants to get.
They need thicker skin if cocksucker will get you tossed.

there is no magic word
it's a figure of speech to imply that the manager has said something to get thrown out

Always wanted to know what Mattingly said here

They can't address an umpire as "you." Can pretty much say anything you want as long as you use "that call" or something like that instead of "you."

Earl Weaver, crusty old manager of the Orioles. After several innings of chirping to the home plate ump over ball & strike calls, he walked up to the ump, hands on his hips. "Mr. Ump, can I get tossed for thinking something?" Ump: "No". Weaver: "well, then, I think you are fricking horrible". Gone pecan.

Saw Matt LeCroy get tossed at the little meeting at home plate before the game started.
Also, saw him get tossed after the first batter of the game. Dude hit an infield single and was safe by 5 feet. He runs across the field and lays in to the ump and gets tossed. When he walked past the opposing team's first base coach he winked at him. Guy was cracking up and asked "what the hell was that Matt?!" He said "just found out my wife is here, I'm outta here!"

I ejected Chuck Hiller from an Appalachian League game in 1972 because he said to me, "Well then you're a horseshite umpire." I remember he had a shocked look on his face because I'm sure he didn't think that would get him ejected. 43 years later and with a lot more experience and maturity, I shouldn't have ejected him. I should have just said, "Maybe so, Chuck, but you're stuck with me for the rest of the game," or something similar. It's different in amateur ball than in pro ball, because you are with these guys day in and day out. They pretty much know what they can and can't say, and often an ejection is when they want to get thrown out and won't go back to the dugout or coach's box when you tell them the conversation is over. I once ejected a manager at the home plate meeting before the second game of a double header when he insisted on bitching about a call I made in the first game.

I always like Gil McGregor's interpretation of how you get a technical in basketball (which I imagine somewhat carries over to baseball and such for ejections).
He said words that end in "-ing" are fine, but words that end in "-er" will probably get you in trouble.

Motherfricker or cocksucker does the trick unless the ref knows the coach is trying to get the boot

Can you imagine someone like Joe Girardi being mic'd up after being tossed, or Jim Leyland? That would be just great TV.
