The main thread is pushing a 1000 again, so here's a evening thread.
Not much good to say about the game. It's ending sure sucked hardcore. Albert's aggressive running ran them right out of a 9th inning rally. But the umps sure didn't help, but blowing another call & once again screwing the Cards. In case you missed it, with Lugo on 1st, Skippy hit a slow roller to Tolo, and in typical Skippy sexy style, he slid into 1st, and was safe by two feet. But the ump, in typical ump fashion, had his head firmly up his ass & called him out. Tony came out to argue, but it really looked like all he wanted a good tip on a nice vegetarian restaurant in the greater Denver area.
Oh well, they are still the NL Central Champs. I still hate to see them give away games like this. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

if they started out making make-up calls, at what point does the MLB wise up
and realize that making up for a make-up call that was a make-up for another make-up call is actually affecting the outcome of a series?

I really, really hope it is Greg Gibson
I think he is even worse than Angel. Hernandez has been consistently bad for years and years.

it's not just the calls
it’s the timing of the calls. calls prolonging key at-bats. close plays to get runners in scoring position. strike zones not only oddly shaped, but different for each side and/or late-and-close games. these are fucking game-deciders, and looking at the overall percentage of correct calls is not going to tell us much about the ump’s performance.
again, I hope the Angels make some headway with the whole Boston / umps thing, because if this makes it to the postseason — screw the ’roiders, THAT will ruin the integrity of the game.

roids has nothing on bad umpires
it really pisses me off people still laugh at the zone the one that recently died gave hernandez in 97 vs the braves in the playoffs. he was getting calls nearly 4 feet outside & people still think it’s a joke & just a funny part of the game. well, it’s no joke jackass’s. he screwed the braves & because of that the Fish went on the win the WS that year. who knows what happens if he called even a half way respectable game

I have also been worried about the umpiring this year.
Can we just clone Tim McClelland and make him umpire all games, everywhere, at every position? Or bring Bruce Froemming out of retirement?

i hate to break it to you, but Tim has become one a bad one too
and i hate how he takes 5 freaking minutes to make a call

He does take forever to make a call
but I don’t believe he’s crooked. Most of the newer ones are on the take, imo.

OT: a lesson from wikipedia
on the etymology of “umpire:”
Origin of the word “umpire”
According to the Middle English Dictionary entry for noumpere, the predecessor of umpire, came from the Old French nonper (from non, “not” + per, “equal”), meaning “one who is requested to act as arbiter of a dispute between two people”, or that the arbiter is not paired with anyone in the dispute.
In Middle English, the earliest form of this shows up as noumper around 1350, and the earliest version without the n shows up as owmpere, a variant spelling in Middle English, circa 1440.
The n was lost after it was written (in 1426-1427) as a noounpier with the a being the indefinite article. The leading n became attached to the article, changing it to an Oumper around 1475; this sort of linguistic shift is called juncture loss. Thus today we say “an umpire” instead of “a numpire.”

I eat so much fiber on a daily basis I am not sure how much I need it. When I detox I live off Water with Lemons, Cayenne, and Maple Syrup. Plus I also take Niacin to help clear my system out.

Speaking of comps
Last Thursday night a buddy of mine and I went to a bar that serves $1 Yuenglings every Thursday to watch the Ole Miss-South Carolina game. We got there around halftime, before the partying crowd really showed up, and just sat at the bar watching the game. The bartenders were great, and we traded rounds ($2 a piece!). At one point, some girls next to us ordered some shots and the bartender poured two extra for us. The total cost of our bar tab there was $8 for eight beers and two shots. Then we went to the 80s music dance bar, which happened to be serving $2 pitchers of Natty Light. Sweet.

I really, really, really hope the team breaks out of this hitting slump
before the playoffs.
Carp and Wainwright have been brilliant, but a team with ‘68 Koufax and ’31 Lefty Grove as a 1-2 can’t win if you only average 2 runs a game.
especially since Koufax was out of baseball by '68
