    MLB umps can fuck up anything.

    Props to Humber but that was a fucking walk.

    MLB: Assholes.

    I bet steam is coming out of Milt Pappas' ears as he watched that last pitch called strike three!

    I knew I could count on SportsJournalists.com for a nice dose of cynicism :)

    I saw the strike-three call on the live look-in. Looked like he went to me, but I know this will be debated from here to whenever. Brian Runge was the home plate ump... he's not one of the notoriously bad ones, IMHO.

    There is no way for me to be impartial about this, but I think if it's close you have to ring him up there, with visions of Jim Joyce dancing in your head.

    Brendan Ryan, by the way, might be my new favorite player. You have to be a hardass MFing competitor to flip out after being rung up in that situation.

    Of course if he runs he might beat the throw.

    Hell, visions of Dale Mitchell and Babe Pirelli . . . no way THAT final pitch was a strike, in '56.

    I'd make the chance better than "might". Absolutely correct, IMO.
