Joba sent to showers by umpire Angel Hernandez.  It was the strangest call I have ever seen.  Joba stayed in to pitch the ninth. With one out and a one and one count, two identical pitches over the head of the Boston batter and he was tossed.  I have sketchy recollection of extreme actions by this ump, but unfortunately cannot remember details. 

A couple links for perspective:

    (see paragraph 3 for humorous local, Omaha incident)

I guess my recollections were correct.
