Pretty much what I expected.
And what those ratings can only scrape at but not fully capture is how he made it personal.
Re: Goodbye and good riddance, Angel
Yeah, and I think the ejections speak to that - he is prolific ejector of players not for the things that should be automatic like fighting but for arguing with him.
One thing I didn't look at, see FK's last post, is does he screw people in the late innings more than usual (because, as John Franco alleged, he "has a plane to catch") - I think the numbers for that exist but likely require parsing

If we had known that, many fans (and players) would have driven him to the airport before the game.
