Is she serious? (pragmatics post)

The Middletons' resident old lady (his mother, but I can't remember their names) is crazy. Who yells at a ref with that stress?

yelling at the ref 'are you nuts' with emphasis on 'you'

I confess to first thinking it should be "ump," anyway, but then I realized that it must be for March Madness, even with that distracting "spring training"... Either that, or this strip is totally messed up.

I think the strip is totally messed up. Mixed up sports references, wrong emphases... *sigh* What are cartoonists coming to these days?
