I won't trust a robot until one can qualify for a boat loan

Are you familiar with the old robot saying, "Does not compute"?

My hope

Is that post season assignments are based on merit and not some negotiation. We have all seen certain umpires who should never umpire any game with championship implications.

Want to throw the umpires a carrot? Let them umpire the All Star game. Oh wait. Our genius baseball commissioner said that determines home field advantage in the world series. Never mind.

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. -- George Santayana (1863-1952)

put each call up for a vote on mlb.com

just like the rosters are

baseball is a game of outs......pop out, ground out, line out, pitch out, strike out, fly out, and Fox and Bud's favorite black out
