On a somewhat unrelated note, I disagree with that whole "come on, get yourself thrown out" concept.
Getting yourself thrown out of the game doesn't do anything. I don't believe the players will perform any better if you get tossed. I DO believe in running out there when your player is carping at the umpire, but thats just to save your player from getting tossed. Then, go ahead and defend your player's honor for a while, and leave.
Losing your mind isn't going to cause the umps to change their mind. Like today, on that Frenchy foul ball ruled strike 3, Yost ran out there to save Frenchy, then asked the ump to check with the other umps. Apparently he wasn't 100% sure of his call, so he agreed to check. If he would have folded his arms and refused, getting yourself tossed wont do anything. Then when they reversed, Socia went out there screaming like a maniac, making himself look like a fool. What does getting tossed gain his team?
