Ump didn't throw a right down the middle of the plate straight fastball on the 2nd pitch to a Sox player who promptly hit it over the Green Monster in the 9th inning
Ump didn't throw a hanging slider that was hit to the wall with the RISP in the 9th inning
Ump didn't botch the relay to the plate that should have at least resulted in an extra innings game
Did the ump have a by guess and by golly strike zone?--- yep
Did the by guess and by golly strike zone lead to extra men on in the 9th?-- yep
The Cards choked--- give the ump an assist but the Birds just could not close the game out
Is that you dawg? bwaaaaa
I never said a word about the loss.
Time for auto strikes and balls.
Hey Sybil
If Dawg had made the post --- his name would have been on it
Since you will probably decide that the old school ump is better than some robot in a couple of days, you can play cute and act like your post wasn't a knee jerk-- or in your case just plain jerk response to last night's game--
it is cool and pretty much your SOP and most of us are used to it and no skin is lost either way but......
