Clarence the Blue Puppet Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 ...for arguing a call that was obviously wrong and the umps had to end up admitting they were wrong. AGAIN. 3 blown calls in one week at Yankee Stadium. 2 home runs called back and a ball that was called a 3rd strike foul caught by the catcher (when Giambi didn't even swing). Is it me or are the umps just HORRIBLE this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gateb Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 The hooplah surrounding this is ridiculous. People are saying that this will ignite the team. Am I the only one that feels a manager making an idiot of himself doesnt really help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it me or are the umps just HORRIBLE this year? They pretty much suck every year, and now the "authorities" are going out of their way to sissify another sport. You can't argue without getting suspended? The Farnsworth suspension was even more ridiculous. I'm surprised Randolph wasn't suspended for saying something stupid. Maybe they will enforce that rule next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 The hooplah surrounding this is ridiculous. People are saying that this will ignite the team. Am I the only one that feels a manager making an idiot of himself doesnt really help? Can't hurt, either! It's nice to see a manager show some passion for a change. It reminds me of the Billy and Earl days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
