Umpire Bill Hohn, who foolishly threw out Astros pitcher Roy Oswalt, will get a "stern" taking to by Bob Watson, baseball's VP in charge of discipline.
I don't know what a stern talking to means. Does it mean he will be suspended? Does it mean he will be suspended if he does something like that again?
Personally, I think a two-game suspension and a fine would be warranted. It might send a message to other umpires to check the ego at the door and do what you get paid to do and that is call a baseball game.
I hope umpires lose the confrontational attitude on the field. I also hope they don't carry that "don't show me up" attitude off the field. Otherwise you can bet there are some very lonely umpires out there.
