My new favorite pitcher: Baltimore Orioles' Steve Kline. Last night against the Yankees he got reamed by the umps when they called him for a balk, after it seemed that Jason Giambi had called time out. Kline exploded and charged the umps, and had to be restrained by his manager who Kline kept pushing into the umpires. After the game, he had this to say, "The umps suck up to the Yankees." The entire yankees dugout began yelling "Balk," then the ump called it. "This was a bogus call," said Kline. "I was deliberating whether to put the home plate ump in the Cobra Clutch." Now THAT would have been something. Mad props to Kline for dropping a mention of the finishing move of Sgt. Slaughter! He was probably calling that ump a commie turd!

Ouch... Cobra Clutch.
That's a powerful move!
However, had he said he would have put the umpire in the Shinanomachi, I would have really been impressed!
Yes, the only way to break a Shinanomachi is to use your Shillaileigh, and I don't think that ump had one with him.
Do you remember how we used to wrestle when we were younger? All I can think of is "steal pillow" and "chin back".
The infamous "Chin Back" was banned from use in professional wrestling in the early 80's as it was widely recognized as the most powerful wrestling move ever. It is still widely used in back yard wrestling leagues and on little sisters.
