The "people are in an uproar" will soon go back to ignoring baseball unless there is something to hate on. I prefer to call out a guy for cheating when he actually breaks a rule.

We now live in a world where the best basketball player is hated because he has a large ego, one of the top football players is disliked because he does a lot of commercials and now one of the best baseball players is disliked because he tricked an umpire? And this is progress....

not sure what ball player you're talking about-if it's ocho, i defend him all the time. i think he has talent and backs it up.
sorry, i think if the ump called it wrong, you'd be right about it, and i wouldn't be fussing about it. but the b movie acting by jeter was over the top.
