Steve McMichael verbally attacks umpire Angel Hernandez

[LombardiTrophy45]

Since when can an umpire eject a fan? Didn't know that.

[parkman35]

That WAS classic...Hernandez looked like he was kicked in the groin,,,,

[tbspatriot]

I remember this game. 

[EricV1]

Mongo isn't exactly a who...he's more of a what.

[keirs12]

cubs fans

[critter2]

so the plate umpire gets one see at the play but you morons get 20? i see the logic in that one...

[critter2]

that the stupid and immature i ever see man so many people need to grow the fuck up. its a game get over it.

[zzyzx0788]

Brought to you in HD

[NJHavens]

does anyone know where a person can get this full game?!?!?!?!

[carriersummoner]

"Nevermind that shit... Here comes Mongo!"

[KOHF34]

Highlights of Angel Hernandez' career:

1988 - Throws out an organist at a Omaha Royals game after the organist started playing "The Mickey Mouse Club" theme. He was thrown out after spelling M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E

2001 - Throws out McMichael after he sings take me out to the ballgame.

[GravitySaX]

I like the part with the terrible quality.

[Skeletorical]

I remember watching this game as a youngster. I was fuming over Angel Hernandez's awful call. Then Mcmichael said that...Just perfect. Perfect.

I think this was the game where Ricky Gutierez scored after a wild pickle situation with Joe Girardi. If memory serves.

People thought it was the Cubs year. It was not.

[Phillycursed]

little offtopic but mongo looks fat as hell since he left wrestling, when he was in TNA i thought that was mongos dad

[QuietGiantProduction]

never mind that shit, here comes mongo

[oldaardvark]

Heh heh. This should not be done too often--but I think we may be due for one of these right about now.

[RedSoxNation92]

angel hernandez is a terrible ump! he butcherd the red sox yankees opening day series

[clewi1091]

im not a cubs fan but i am a cardinals fan. and it seems hernandez always finds a way to make a controversial call in almost every game he is in. i never like it when hes in a game the cards are in.

[STLcardinalsUMcanes]

Angel Hernandez sucks! The worst. He goes pretty darn good with the Cubs.

[jbergs1977]

I was at this game. This is the first time I've seen this in over eight years. What memories.

[ch228]

I was there.

[heimtime3]

he is about as classy as all those scrub fans that throw shit on the field and throw beer at players and they wonder why they cry like bitches every october. they are the cubs at the end of the day they will find a way to fuck it all up.

[aj0446]

if only it was randy marsh

[thedjmic]

Worst umpire I have ever witnissed. Not just imcompetent, but bad... with an agenda.... the worst kind.

[foilseal]

@thedjmic waaa....poor baby

[MarshalltheIrish]

Why stop there when you could take a dollar for ALL of his bad calls and confrontations? That'd be enough to pay off the national debt. This guy's probably the worst umpire around.

[foilseal]

@MarshalltheIrish actually, he's the highest rated umpire over the past 20 years, according to MLBPA

[MarshalltheIrish]

@foilseal

Really? That's a surprise...I had seen polls and opinions from players that showed he was pretty unpopular with them. Bizarre.

[RedSoxNation92]

bullshit

[foilseal]

@jfab64 nobody cares about the mets you queer

[TheBobBlobShow]

He is a real Douche. nacho

[bakogoofball]

I agree with the premise that Angel Hernandez is the worst umpire in MLB. Joe West and Bill Hohn aren't too far behind.

[luvthoseclips]

I still have the "complete game" from this night, & the ENTIRE incident with McMichael.....the final play of this game was about as unbelieveable as you'll ever see....Angel Hernandez gave the Cubs the victory over the Rockies, 5-4.

[langevin16]

upload it please if you can. I still remember watching this game

[DaBearsRockMySox]

please upload the mcmichael parts. that would be so awesome

[krstnrogers57]

Angel Hernandez is the worst UMP in MLB. Even worse than CB Buckner.

[jackmehoffer68]

I agree, krstnrogers, he has an enormous chip on his shoulder which is not correct for an ump.

[RangersFanNY]

He acts as if the game revolves around him. Like people come to the games to see HIM perform.

Hes an imbecile. Bottom line is that anytime you ask for ANYTHING from this jerkoff, he gets heated, and shows you up, and tries to get a rise out of you just so he has an excuse to toss you.

Hes beyond being the worst umpire in baseball. But, not to worry. He won't have a long much longer.

[foilseal]

@krstnrogers57 interesting...the MLB players and coaches voted Hernandez as one of the top 3 umps for 7 consecutive years, including 2001

[RedSoxNation92]

In a 1999 survey conducted by the Major League Baseball Players Association, Hernández was ranked 31st out of 36 National League umpires. In 2006 he was voted as one of the 3 worst umps in baseball

[hammermjh]

The only douche bag is McMichael. A disgrace to the horsemen, and a fake mongo. There is only ONE mongo, Alex Karras.

[jackmehoffer68]

There is only one mongo, you are right. You are wrong about Hernandez, he is the consummate douchebag.

[Domhpd]

Angel Hernandez Jr, I may add, is just as a douche bag as his father was as a commisioner for a Khoury League in Hialeah Fl in the early to mid 80's

[oldaardvark]

Just about everybody in Amercian society is subject to criticism except umpires and referees--they are sacred.

[petrieds10]

Obviously living off his 'glory days' from WCW.

[EricV1]

Nevermind that shit....Here Comes Mongo!

[natemarroquin]

Angel Hernandez got called out by Steve McMichael and DESERVED IT. He's nothing more than an idiot.

[classicj8]

cool

[rrmond]

Im a White Sox fan from the s. side. Only been to 2 Cubs game my entire adult life and this nite was one of them. Free tix from work. It was like 99 degrees and humid as hell that nite. Cubs ACTUALLY won this game in the bottom of the 9th. Too bad only homosexuals and Cubs fan live north of Belmont Ave.

[jr1216]

fuck ya

go cubbs

[dudewattf]

hahahaha i was at that game.

[Maxnned]

HAHAHAHA YOU JUST GOT OWNED.

[mrwoods22]

Dear moron. You responded to my question but you didn't answer it.

[mrwoods22]

What the hell does your opinion of McMichael as a football player have to do with what he said to a fucking baseball umpire?

[DBjoey29]

I'm 165 pounds of man. You're 240 pounds of bitch. What do I care about a bunch of Texas steer loving queers? I bet you aren't even from Philly. Real mother fuckers live in Philly, not Louisiana bitches like you. I bet you're really from Louisiana. Honestly, if you were 240 pounds of prison muscle, I still wouldn't give a fuck, I ain't afraid of shit. Have fun counting down your magic number BITCH!! NL CENTRAL CLINCHED!

[DBjoey29]

Seriously man, it's getting to the point I want to pound your fucking teeth into the cement. I bet you're 115 pounds wet and wearing boots. Just some punk bitch that lives in the SUBURBS of Philly that THINKS he is tough. I'm so fucking willing to fly to your little suburb and handle business. Philly aint shit BITCH!!

[RWayne72160]

You'll have to fly to Louisiana shithead. I'm an electrician working down here for a few weeks until things are back to normal in this part of the country. But I've learned one thing about the people down here. Astros fans hate you Flubs bitches as much as we Phillies fans do...LOL. Oh, and by the way, I weigh 240 lbs. And if you're serious about thinking you can kick my ass, catch a flight to Houston and then Lake Charles, LA. I doubt you will though. You're a typical all talk Cub bitch.

[RWayne72160]

Leave it to a classless Shitcago Flub fan like that fat pig McMichael. Hey Flubs fans, who you gonna grab your ankles for this year, the Phillies or the Dodgers? Make that a century now without anything won!!!...ROFL

[Maxnned]

At least the cubs have actual fans. And you know what? I love being a cub fan. It would suck if I wasnt. And even if they made 4 errors two nights ago and Ryan Dempster walked a career high 7 batters, I still love it. Have you ever been to wrigley field? Its incredible. So really, no one cares what you think and I'm sure all cub fans on here will agree with me.

[ajax515]

LOL, yeah okay badass.

[ajax515]

No, but I do know that he is an ex football player and unless you are too or some kind of fighting specialist (which I doubt) old Mongo would squeeze the life out of you punk. Thats who the ambulance would be there for.

[ajax515]

Mongo would beat your fucking ass douche shut the fuck up.

[canuxfan17]

I was at that game. The atmosphere was electric, it was 102 degrees, people were fired up, Hernandez made 2 terrible calls, and then McMichael poured gas on the fire and the place went nuts.

The Cubbies came back to win in the bottom of the ninth on a botched rundown with 2 outs! One of the most memorable games I ever saw live (and my only visit to Wrigley so far).

[tonykoz]

Wow...that was one of the greatest Cubs games I saw on TV. I believe it was the 1st ever Cubs game on WGN in HDTV.

[mrwoods22]

HD is overrated.

[jersdream]

@tonykoz Don't think HDTV was around then......

[bentron3030]

@canuxfan17

That was a classic! Ricky Guiterez running around the bases like he was in a game of pickle. Wish MLB.com could download a game like that.

[ifinallygotaim77]

@canuxfan17 Yeah I was there too. I was like nine, I swear to god I almost threw up I got so excited. It was kinda sad though, that Angel Hernandez's ego prevents him from being able to take any form of a joke at all.

[zzyzx0788]

@canuxfan17 Lol I was at that game too, first base side bout 8 rows from home plate. I agree with everything you said, there was an awesome atmosphere with the Cubs in the playoff hunt and Hernandez missing those two calls. Then that weird trip around home by Gutierez which eventually ended with that amazing play at the plate. Definitely one of the best games I've ever seen live or even on TV

[GWDPREZ07]

MONGO IS THE FUCKIN MAN!

[AWDBOOSTEDTSI]

Man Steve Mac was the shit!!!!!!!

[CaptainOT]

In a 1999 survey conducted by the Major League Baseball Players Association, Hernández was ranked 31st out of 36 National League umpires.

He hasn't gotten any better...

[FromFlushingtoMarcy]

It seems like he's behind 75% of all blown calls in MLB. Why he's always picked to call playoff games is anyone's guess.

[bakogoofball]

I'm surprised he even ranked that high.

[ezdrill2]

Steve who?

[darklotus66]

Holy crap did former four horsemen (lol) McMichael gang a lot of weight in three years.

I hope he still doesn't look like that.

[ply10110]

Angel is a Yankee hater and an idiot!

[FromFlushingtoMarcy]

Nah, probably just an idiot. I'm sure every fan feels like he hates their team, because he's cost them a win with some fucked-up call before.

[dfwmale61]

Rule 9.01

(e) Each umpire has authority at his discretion to eject from the playing field (1) any person whose duties permit his presence on the field, such as ground crew members, ushers, photographers, newsmen, broadcasting crew members, etc., and (2) any spectator or other person not authorized to be on the playing field.

I would have ejected the idiot. I'm hoping Angel did as well.

[critter2]

I find it hillarous he allowed to even work when he is drunk also, he can get thrown out as well

[Chad121130]

WHAT A FAT peaice of shit

[funkeytoad08]

I remember watching that game on TV! It was a bad call he was safe. McMichael was drunk no doubt, but it was funny as hell. He looked down at AH and said BOOOOOOO!

[wedontgiveadamn]

Yeah Angel, look tough and stare up at the box. Your boyfriend would be impressed.

[GreenFenril]

Angel Hernandez is a good umpire. Didn't see the play, but he is a good umpire. Mind you he chews a lot of gum.

[jfkdsjfsdjfsdjkfsdfd]

Are you kidding me? He is the worst umpire who ever lived! He is doing the Mets game tonight behind the plate, and he had better not get me mad after having to deal with that loss last night or I will go to Shea and beat him up after the game! Just kidding! LOL! But I will be so mad at him if he makes his usual bad calls tonight (only the ones that go against the Mets, of course!).

[ajax515]

Fuck yeah I was at that game! Go Steve!

[DaBearsRockMySox]

thank u soo much!
