Anybody see Joey Votto get thrown out of the game for...WHAT? He may have said something about the crappy call, but in baseball I believe you are allowed to mention your disagreement to the umpire, as long as you're not totally calling him out and showing him up.

I don't think it was a strike either, but regardless, he must have said something reallllllyyyy snarky to the ump to get thrown from the game. What do you see?

In contrast, here is a story about a mistaken call, responsibility, and sportsmanship:
