Puts the majority of most music acts to shame. Stumbled upon him one late night on CMT about 6 years ago and I’ve been hooked, to say the least, ever since.

Or like the clip from the 1991 Stanley Cup finals. “Bellows, you must be really hurt. Lay on the ice like a broad, ya f’ing fa^^ot.”

I distinctly remember watching this as a Twins fan. The home plate umpire had the worst strike zone that day. Lots of ejections all around because of it.

The best part about it was Ross had his gear on before McCann went out for that inning. McCann said “Hey get ready, I’m getting tossed.” Hahn is up there with Joe West on the Douchebagometer.

Gotta hate those days. I watch both of those videos at least once a week…literally. I watch em when I’m mad, to cheer me up or just to blatantly laugh out loud at Beckett and McCann’s distaste for umpires. These videos remind me, spring is almost here and that means only one thing, Rogue Umpire Roundup!

Twice. I loved ‘em, swearing included. I miss real baseball by a factor too high to calculate, I’m having a crappy day from hell (my dog is so sick I fear for her life and I missed an important appointment due to a scheduling error this AM): this was a nice interlude from all that suckyness. Thanks man.

Offer a special package such as MLB extra innings or partner with them to where they have microphones hooked up throughout the field, on certain players, managers and umpires and one can hear the entire experience , word for word. Granted, it would be really hard for everyone to agree to wear the damn things but I can dream cant I?

I love McCann’s exclamatory “Oh my God!” after the ball is 7 inches outside.

Cabrera: Hey, Price is up, wanna bet he hits it out of the park
Verlander: I’ll take that bet
Prince: *smashes one 3 miles long
Cabrera: SI….
Gandenhire: MOTHERFUCKER!

(sorry for any misspelled names)
