After giving ol' JG the gears yesterday about finally showing some emotion he did it again Thursday night in New York. John Gibbons was tossed again, this time by 2B umpire Jeff Kellogg.
He was tossed for arguing a trapped ball call at first base that was originally ruled an out but shortly overturned by 2nd base umpire Kellogg. “My sense was that the ball was resting on the ground and his glove was around the top of the ball,” said Kellogg
There was no appeal from the Yankees on the first call. This was what sent JG off his rocker. Gibbons later said “I asked (Kellogg) how could they overturn it if there is no appeal by the other side? I thought the rule was that there had to be an appeal by the other side for them to get together. That was my interpretation of the rule.”
Gibbons moves included some finger pointing, a hat removal, some pinkie pointing, spiking his hat into the dirt , getting ejected and then talking to the man who had just ejected him in an odd but casual manner. Just check it out on the link below.

Gibbons has a chance to make it a 3-peat on Friday in New York. If he is shown the door for a 3rd time in a row I will never say a bad thing about the man who I thought had the heart beat of a hibernating bear.
