I’ve sat directly behind home plate at several Cal League games over the years, and nearly all of those umpires were better than the crop out there today. Is it because of the money involved or something more sinister such as appeasing the bookies.
Another person who wants to take the human element out of sports. Does he know that if you can blame your team’s loss on the officiating, you can ignore the fact that your team sucks?
Enjoy your Thanksgiving turkey as you watch game 7. Prediction: lowest TV viewing audience of all time. Why? College football, NBA, NFL, college BB, NHL and it’s just not fun to watch anymore…..I’m 70. Friends of mine agree….If that’s a sign….ratings will be in the Standard tank……if you get my drift.

On TV,football games draw lines showing how far you have to go for the next “down”.In real life,you don’t know a freakin’ thing.
