It does set up to be eerily reminiscent of last year. Except for George Sherrill.

i think this year more than ever they are aware of how poor it is. the yankees series especially (since no one gives a $#@! about our series outside of philly) has had some smoking guns....

They're probably aware of it, but they never do anything about it. This isn't the first year the umpiring has been bad--there were lousy calls (that went both ways) in our WS last year. There are every year.

My issue is that nobody is ever fired, or even held out of postseason assignments (which confer bonus $ IIRC) after they make awful mistakes. Everybody else in life has to be accountable. Why not the umps?

Trying not to be over confident... but I am.

Sherrill's going to get the low strike?

by **Shore** » Mon Oct 19, 2009 23:00:30

Let's get like 14 pitches to the first 3 batters.

i hear ya...you're right. they should be graded like everyone else and booted if they blow too many calls. pretty black or white really....you got it right or you didn't.

It would be nice if these guys would make one damn error.

by **PhillyFrank5391** » Mon Oct 19, 2009 23:01:48
