The Chicago Cubs took on the New York Yankees on Sunday and it turned out to be a big win for Chicago right before the All-Star break.
However, the contest started off with some fireworks in the first inning, as manager David Ross got ejected right from the jump.
According to a Yankees beat writer, Erik Boland, the Cubs manager was displeased over a call that put Giancarlo Stanton up 2-0 in the count. The umpire tossed Ross out of the game after he was yelling from the dugout.

After being ejected, David Ross immediately stormed onto the field and confronted the umpire. He began yelling and delivered an all-time line that even the Yankees broadcast team enjoyed.
“You’ve gotta be better. You got one goddamn game before you get a break and you’re that f****** bad already?”
Here’s the clip.

Ironically enough, David Ross received an early break instead of the umpire.
On top of that, some baseball fans seem to side with the umpire in this situation. Plenty of people think the umpire had the right call.
If that’s the case, then this outburst from the Cubs’ manager is even more hilarious!
Of all the calls these guys missed he gets ejected on a call the umpire actually got right David Ross it's such a clown

Hey, the Cubs got the win today though.
It was a good call, though, no wonder the Cubs stink. 😭
