Doug Eddings, Comic Thief

This just in ... umpire Doug Eddings is stealing our act.
As you know, making fun of David Wells' immense girth is one of our favorite pastimes here at MLT, and apparently, Eddings is a devoted reader.
During the Padres' 5-2, 12-inning loss to the Diamondbacks on Wednesday night, Eddings morphed from bad ump into hack comic.
According to Wells, Eddings gestured in the direction of the Fat Man in the dugout by rubbing his belly, as if to say, "You're fat."
And since Paul McAnulty was no longer in the dugout, we can presume Eddings wasn't directing his mime comedy routine toward the hefty youngster.
For what it's worth, Eddings denies making any such gesture, but regardless, the incident made our day.
And for those of you scoring at home ... since Kevin Towers, who answers to the colorful nickname "KT," acquired the Fat Man last Aug. 31 in a trade with the Red Sox for highly touted catcher George Kottaras, old tubby still has exactly one win.
Another brilliant move, KT.
