    The umpiring this series has been absolutely terrible. It's really pathetic.

    And this commercial intertwining the World Series with American Idol is pathetic and sickening.

    And I'm tired of hearing "it's part of the game" because it's not.
    Yes, it is.

    Ok, my bad. That's true, it is. In fact, it's an obvious part of the game.

    BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE.

    Re: World Series Game 4 Discussion

    My main reply when it comes to this subject is this: Why not?

    I mean seriously, this is hardly a new issue. Umpires have been screwing up calls since before 1871. What makes it such an issue now?
    The Umps themselves do try to limit blowing calls. In my mind, as long as their not trying to directly influence games (ie.: gambling, which obviously should be quashed with extreme prejudice), I don't see what the real problem is. Part of the game is the fact that a human being needs to see what you're doing... the players play to that. I don't see any real need to fundamentally change the game in the manner which you guys are advocating for.
