I would say no.
He’ll get it together. As long as Jim Wolf isn’t the HP Ump for the NLDS game he pitches, things will be ok.

Any word on who IS going to umpire in the playoffs?
Please no Joe West or Angel Hernandez or CB “Spawn of Satan” Bucknor!

Maybe it’s that “Happy Wanderer” song they used to sing at Expos games. Y’know, back when more than ten people used to show up at the Big O.
