PrintSome of this you know and some you may not.
Strange night out at the yard, where veteran umpire Ed Rapuano, working first base, turned a triple play of sorts. In a span of two innings -- separated by a 17-minute rain delay -- Rap tossed Fredi Gonzalez, Dan Uggla and Emilio Bonifacio.
Personally, I had no idea Bonifacio was tossed out of the game too. I guess this umpiring crew's egos are so large that if anyone questions their infallibility it is cause for expulsion.
Have I mentioned, I don't like this crew? And last night is not the reason.
The thing is, I have no problem with an umpire missing a call and costing the Marlins the game -- it happens. It is a part of the game, after all they are human. But when year-after-year the only umpiring crew that keeps tossing Marlins out of the game with regularity is this crew, well, it kinda makes them hard to warm up to.

I hate this crew and that fatty. They always have it in for us. I never ever notice the other umpiring crews. this is the only one that sticks out in my mind. And Umpires are like offensive linemen. If they do their job you don’t even notice them. It’s when they get attention is when you need to start worrying.
there is a reason they kick our players out of the games. It’s because they get upset with horrible calls.
