Reader Email – Fake Umps Vs. Dennis Drinkwater…Who Ya Got?
Reader Email
El Presidente, just a heads up that we are huge Barstool fans up in Toronto and we wanted to give you a heads up before anyone that the Fake Umpires will be making an appearance at Fenway Park tomorrow night (Tuesday) for the Jays at Red Sox game. We will be in our normal seats directly behind the dish in the front row calling strikes and punchouts for the Red Sox. Although we are die hard fans of the Jays, our team has been out of the playoff race for a while thus have adopted the Red Sox as our surrogate team throughout the playoffs and we have to admit, of all the visiting team clubs that have come to Toronto, we have gotten the warmest reception from the Red Sox players/coaching staff. A class act of an organization if you ask us, plus we can’t stand the Yankees and hate A-Rod and crew with a passion. I have included the ESPN story done on us as well as various interviews we have conducted this year throughout the season.

This could get ugly. Because something tells me Dennis Drinkwater isn’t a Fake Umps type of guy. So the idea of them punching people out like right in his grill mix should be pretty entertaining. In fact don’t be suprised if there are some words exchanged. Either way it’s just another reason to watch the game tonight. As if betting the Sox -240 wasn’t enough now I got this to look forward to. Too bad I didn’t get these guys the black barstool hats to wear during the game. Who needs that type of free advertising anyway right?
PS – I can’t wait until everybody is talking about the fake umps tomorrow. Stoolies can be like pfft saw that shit on Barstool before it even happened.
Well if you ship the black barstool hats today, they just might be ready for opening day.
I heard Craig Trapp tries to do this at his local Little League field.
funny. attention whores. but funny. are they doing handstands next?
Great… I’d love to be paying $150 for a seat and have these Cunty Canadians pulling this bullshit in front of me. Listen you fruity Canucks, we don’t bond with you because you’ve decided to suck our teet, we don’t care that you hate the Yankees, we laugh at you.
Drinkwater is a douche. He’s a rich douche, but he’s still a douche. In fact, I use JN Philips for all my windshield replacements because he’s such a douche.
I’d love to pay $150 and sit in the front row. I belive the seats are more than that.
I didn’t think this would be funny, but it is.
these guys are funny once…then they get annoying…they stand up after every pitch…it makes the game hard to watch
I met these guys back in July up in Toronto, fucking hilarious! I ended up sitting like 5 rows behind them, and they were more entertaining then the game. 9 Straight innings and they didn’t let up. It was pretty awesome!
they sound like a bunch of idiots who didnt get enough attention from daddy.
In baseball there is only one umpire behind the plate, so I don’t get why theres two of them. Theres only supposed to be one. There isn’t enough room behind the plate for two umpires.
hahaha this should be good
Anyone hating on these guys can screw themselves. I’d rather see these guys then Drinkwater…fuckin hate that guy.
nothing stops drinkwater.
Doesn’t Dennis Drinkwater ever have to sit in on a late meeting? He is CEO of a pretty big company.
taken from an article written on drinkwater back in 2005 i found this tidbit interesting…
So if you’ve ever wondered about a guy whose days from April to October revolve around the Red Sox schedule or fantasized about sitting in the seat next to him, here’s what Dennis Drinkwater thinks about cellphones, booing, and getting in and out of Kenmore Square 81 times a year.
Favorite player: Third baseman Bill Mueller. ”If we had nine Bill Muellers, we’d win it all again.”
First baseball game: Boston Braves vs. the Philadelphia Philles, 1951. ”My mother took me,” he says. ”She got me into baseball.”
Game day ritual: Dines on lamb chops, salmon, or shrimp at The Capital Grille most nights before heading over to Fenway.
Libations: Five or six bottles of spring water during the game.
Pet peeve: Cellphone use during games. Drinkwater deputized himself to help the ushers keep people from using their cellphones and waving wildly at the camera while the game is going on. ”It’s too distracting to pitchers,” he says. ”People can use their cellphones between innings.”
On booing: Never does it. ”How can you hate or boo a professional? It’s illogical.”
Exit strategy: The regulars who sit around him call him ”eight and two-thirds” for his habit of leaving his seat with one out remaining in the bottom of the ninth and making a bee-line for the ramp near the right-field concourse to watch the last out. Then he ducks to his car. ”I’m on 93 before most people have left the park.”
Ohh, I’m sure he’ll love these guys…
From the Land of Kessel!
these guys are fucking losers, there act was amusing for 2 strikes.
DOES BEING AN UMPIREGUY GET THEM LAID?
NO FUCKING WAY
tOE
Maybe if Buchholz would stop serving up meatballs, we’d actually get to see these guys punch someone out! WTF
Someone needs to buy these guys tickets to all the playoff games.
Bigtoe your outta there!!!!!!!
loved these guys. I was at the game last night – and they were the only thing that made the first 7 innings bearable.
keep it up dudes – I only wish I thought of this schtick – I am jealous.
I love the “fake throwing the ball back to the pitcher after foul balls” routine. fantastic. keep working honing your craft.
