New balls coming in

I noticed as well. If I had to guess I would say the umpire was sweating so much the balls were getting wet in his ball bag.

Is this our ump from last night?

You would figure that ump would like to have lots of balls within his reach. Especially in his sack. My guess is that he was so excited looking at the catchers' asses all night that that wasn't sweat getting the balls wet.

He took a fowl tip to the shoulder/arm area early. He walked out the next ball to the pitcher.
So from then on he asked the be thrown out from the gate.

Obviously you are not a golfer.

Well whoever was throwing them in sucked. Poor cotton was chasing them all over the place.

Would have loved to see this managers rant.

Bowers argued balls and strikes from the dugout on the 30th. A close play at first base set him off on the 31st. On both days, Bowers played to the crowd, rolling up his sleeves and mocking the 6-foot-4, 220-lb Van Raaphorst with a “gun show.”

On the 31st, Bowers took things a step further, launching into an anti-gay tirade that would make Mel Gibson blush.

“You know what I heard?” Bowers screamed. “I heard you are a f---ing (expletive). The rumor from several managers and people at the league is that you are a (expletive) ... So what do you do you f---ing (expletive)? Do you take it up the f---ing (expletive), you (expletive)?”

As his verbal meltdown continued, Bowers, a second-round draft pick of the Toronto Blue Jays in 1989, bent over and grabbed his ankles.

“Is that how you like it, you f---ing (expletive)?... I know he’s a (expletive),’’ Bowers ranted. "I was told by Garry Templeton (a manager in the league) and Kevin Outcalt (commissioner of the league) that he is a f---ing (expletive).”
