Umpire tosses lots of Phillies out of the game

June 17th, 2007. Citizen's Bank Park in Philadelphia. The Phillies, down 7-4 to the Detroit Tigers, become frustrated and cannot hold back their anger any longer. After catcher Ruiz gets thrown out of the game for arguing with the home plate umpire (not shown), Phillies' manager Charlie Manuel discusses the situation with the umpire, and then gets thrown out himself. He continues to argue, getting his money's worth, and then while leaving the field, Phillies' base coach Steve Smith (in the dugout) gets thrown out by the first base umpire. He becomes livid and has to be restrained by Manuel. Sorry I didn't get the umpire throwing Smith out of the game, two guys walked in front of me which made me lose where I was. I was in section 431 (WAY upstairs) with a 10x optical zoom camera.

UPDATE: I've disabled comments because they've pretty much run their course and I'm getting tired of the Mets fans and Phillie Phans swearing at each other
