*Note: Not an image from today's game*
Today I'm doing a day game, pretty much a regular Sunday for me. Marlins are in Philly, it's the corpse versus the hot handed Josh Johnson (10-2 with a sub-3 era) and something strange occurred in the top of the 7th innning. Wes Helms was batting, after a close pitch was called a ball, Ed Rapuano, the home plate umpire, called time and proceeded to eject Shane Victorino all the way out in center field. Now one thing that really annoys me is arguing balls and strikes. It's one thing id the umpire is inconsistent, but there are players that complain at EVERY PITCH, its absurd. I'm getting off topic, so besides how much I loathe the Phillies and Philly fans I really dislike Shane Victorino. There are actually few player on that roster I like, but it was great to see Victorino come sprinting in then , in attempt to get to Rapuano shoved his own teammate, catcher Paul Balko. This ejection is completely unruly and should be reviewed by the Umpires Association. But it was great to see 40,000 plus Phillies fans bitch about their all-star center fielder.
Fantasy Impact: Expect Victorino to be suspend for a game of two.
Real Baseball Impact: Werth filled in for Victorino and booted a single with the bases loaded, allowing 3 runs to score. Turning what should have been one run to three, blowing the doors off this game. Put it in the books Philly, clean sweep. And now are 4 games out in the NL East.
