i realize umpires are jokingly referred to as being blind as a bat moondog Send a noteboard - 21/10/2009 03:02:44 AM
but that was the worst blown call since, well... since a few days ago actually! WTF is wrong with baseball this year? more specifically, did they get these umpires from the local school of the blind or what?

for those not paying attention at home, i'm referring specifically to the double play which was only called one single out at the top of the 5th inning tonight. maybe the umpires are doing their best to convince MLB to institute instant replay for all close calls next year, otherwise i don't see any reason why the officiating should be so shitty this year :rant:

EDIT: actually, i can see if the umpires want the yankees to win, they would blow those calls like they did tonight. otherwise, yeah. "get your head in the game" and that kind of thing
