Please sit down
Sunday was the second trip of the season to the City of Brotherly Love.
It started as a nice day, but quickly turned chilly, but not as cold as the pre-season game.
So why am I asking peole to sit down?
Well during the game, Mark DeRosa of the Cubs hit a “long drive” to left that was going out of here. It was ruled a homer by the rookie third base ump.
But right away, one could easily see the ball was foul. Just didn’t have the look of a fair ball.
The fans started screaming and so did Pat Burrell. In fact, he had to be pushed away from the umpire.
So, chugging out to argue was Uncle Charlie. It didn’t take a lind squirrel to see the play and I though perhaps Charlie would say a few words and just go back to the dugout.
Well after the umpires together and made the call stand, Charlie took one for the team. He got tossed for standing behind his team.
I was glad to see that. And know, I am not really changing my mind about him, but it was refreshing.
I also got a kick out of the fans the rest of the game as well, which by the way, the Phillies lost in 10.
