Is it true that a pitcher can be penalized by the umpire for licking his fingers if he has been warned?

Yes. Its called a "Spitball". A spitball is when a pitcher either licks his fingers, spits on the ball, or uses any substance (i.e.: cooking oil, gel deoderant) that has a slickness to it. This causes the pitcher to give an extra break on a pitch. (i.e.: Instead of the normal 22 rotation spins on a curveball, ittl go 25-30 times for more of a break)

AnswerRule 8.02 of The Official Rules of Baseball:

" The pitcher shall not --

(a) (1) Bring his pitching hand in contact with his mouth or lips while in the 18 foot circle surrounding the pitching rubber. EXCEPTION: Provided it is agreed to by both managers, the umpire prior to the start of a game played in cold weather, may permit the pitcher to blow on his hand.

PENALTY: For violation of this part of this rule the umpires shall immediately call a ball. However, if the pitch is made and a batter reaches first base on a hit, an error, a hit batsman or otherwise, and no other runner is put out before advancing at least one base, the play shall proceed without reference to the violation. Repeated offenders shall be subject to a fine by the league president."

There is no reference to the umpire penalizing a pitcher for licking his fingers other than the umpire shall immediately call a ball. There is reference to repeat offenders being subject to a fine from the league president.

basicaly if ur going to lick ur fingers do it on in the dirt arount the rubber do it on the grass

UPDATE:

Starting with the 2010 MLB season. MLB rules state that a pitcher my go to his mouth to lick his fingers on the mound as long as he is not on the rubber. The pitcher must whipe his hand againt the uniform before returning to the rubber. If this act is performed either on the rubber or he does not whipe his fingers this will be called a balk

Why did bill compton go out with Sookie stackhouse?

Sookie and Bill didn't break up, in fact they are technically engaged (they would have made it official but Bill was kidnapped).

They haven't broken up YET permanently. If the show stays true to the books they should be over this season (3), and it will be when Sookie learns Bill was sent to Bon Temps by the Queen Sophie Ann for the distinct purpose of investigating Sookie.

In the books, Bill and Sookie are permanantly broken up because Bill was unfaithful to Sookie by sleeping with Lorena his former lover, and maker.

Why did Bill Compton and Sookie Stackhouse broke up?

In both the books and TV show, Bill and Sookie permantly broke up as of Book 3 'Club Dead' and as far as the show, I'm pretty sure if they still going by the book, that will be the same. But they broke up because Bill went back to his former lover and maker, and had sex, Bill had planned to pension Sookie off and stay with Lorena, and Sookie began to hate him for that. So they broke up. Personally, I think Eric and Sookie are just PERFECT for each other. Eric is just amazing. And like I said, if they make a True Blood season for every True Blood book, and stick by the book then in the end, Sookie and Eric will be married.

What other books have Charlotte harris besides True Blood?

Charlaine Harris has also written a series about a girl named Harper who can see how people died by standing on their grave. One of the books is called grave sight and there are a few others. They are really great books, a bit creepy but a good read. She also has a few short story compilations including other authors. I personally have not read any of them, but I imagine they would be interesting. Her website shows what she is currently working on. But seriously, the Grave Sight series is really amazing. (I don't know the actual name of the series though)
