In the Bleachers by Ben Zaehringer for July 19, 2009

Don Denkinger.Umps, refs, you name it they blow it. And Reggie Jackson didn’t cheat his arse off in the world series.

This is why you need instant replay in baseball. Umpires make more errors than do players.

I think the human factor is what make baseball such a great game, too much of our lives are run by machines nowadays. Some sports might benefit from advanced technology, but I believe baseball should be changed only after very careful consideration.

I agree. How the ump sees it, is it.

In baseball, it’s not what really happens that counts, it’s what the ref SAYS happens that counts.

I don’t get this.

maybe this is a parody on an “internal congressional investigation on ethics”

“anybody see anything wrong?” “nope” “ok….nothing wrong!”

hey ump i got an extra pair of glasses, do ya want them?

I think it’s an old blind umpire joke.
