Four Blind Mice
DIR By: Dave23

Dedicated to the four personalities who make each and every MLB
game about themselves, rather than the players...
Here's to your incompetence!

If the Jim Wolf call was reviewed by replay, the results would
have been inconclusive. The ball definitely was bobbled.

What I'd like to start capturing in this topic is stuff like
this.

Just awful.

That was Gerry Davis at first that night.

That was Tim Timmons.

Some runs probably score, which changes the game.

right there on top of the play. How could he blow that call? it
wasn't even close. And, yeah, it could have made for a different
outcome (also the awful strike 3 call on DeJesus later, when he
actually drew a walk...Castro and LaHair each got hits that
inning....)

And here we have some Angel Campos.

There are plenty of questionable umpires out there besides
Bucknor and Hernandez, and I'd like to try to start identifying
some of them.

"Questionable" needs to be defined. At a minimum, there are the
ones who simply miss too many calls, the ones who think fans buy
tickets to see them, and the ones with too quick of a trigger
finger.
