Jason yesterday, Rich today...
I wonder if this umpire crew has a particularly small and/or inconsistent strike zone.
(FWIW, IMO, this is the worst crew in MLB. The Tschida crew is the best. It figures that MLB would send its worst crew to work a series with huge playoff implications…)
"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
Well, Joe West has been prominently involved...
I love to play baseball. I'm a baseball player. I've always been a baseball player. I'm still a baseball player. That's who I am. - Ryne Sandberg
I know that MLB players rated CB Bucknor "worst umpire" a few years ago
It was an anonymous survey by Sports Illustrated, I think… he’s the 2B ump today.
"I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game." - Walt Whitman
ESPN (Rick Sutcliffe) called this crew "one of the best".
Go Green! Go White! GO STATE! (#13031 on the Cubs season ticket waiting list...)
How can any crew with CB Bucknor and Joe West on it even be considered passable?
Rapuano is the only good ump in the crew. Having a CC as bad as Joe West guarantees a bad crew.

Not Wild
Obviously 5 walks through 4+ isn’t good, but it seems to me that he isn’t wild by any means, just barely missing his spots…trying to be just a little TOO fine.
Looks like he's not getting the movement he's expecting
Hope he doesn’t overthrow to compensate.

"I see the playoff schedule posted in the paper, and that stuff makes me nervous because you can't take anything for granted. We have a great team. We have a really good team. We're playing well, but we haven't won yet." - Jim Edmonds, 8/31/08
Freaking DeRo
He owes us a homer now.
Your 2008 Missouri Tigers! #5 3-0 (0-0). Next up Saturday home vs. Buffalo. Chase Daniel and Jeremy Maclin for Co-Heisman!
Seriously, it doesn't matter if we get harden to pitch 5 good innings
If every team scores 4 the second they take him out
That's all for Shark
Thank God
