Replay Bringing Civility To Baseball?

In this July 26, 2008, file photo, Chicago Cubs manager Lou Piniella, left, argues with third base umpire Brian Gorman, right, after first base umpire Rob Drake ejected Piniella during the ninth inning of their baseball game against the Florida Marlins at Wrigley Field in Chicago. With baseball's expanded replay rule this season, those colorful, saliva-trading tirades Bobby Cox and Lou Piniella made famous could very well be replaced by far more civilized behavior.
