The game is not supposed to be about the umpires. When an ump forgets that, HE should be ejected.

I am a High School Umpire and I miss balls and strikes sometimes quite often. Every umpire I have ever talked to is quite aware when they miss a pitch. We tend to allow a little more chatter about the strike zone after we blow a call at least for a short time. Compounding the situation by an ejection then demanding another ejection is not what quality or classy umpires would ever do. This guy needs to at least privately apologize to the Braves in general and Bobby and Brian in particular. That being said these guys normally do an outstanding job that is greatly under appreciated.
