bag to not be called for interference in the third inning on
Saturday. Willingham was close enough to reach down and touch
the bag if he thought it was necessary. But umpire Joe West
called Willingham for interference and made Joe Mauer, who was
on third, return to second. ``I've never had the rule explained
to me like that before,'' Hammer said. ``He said I didn't make
an attempt to touch the bag, but the bag was right there. Twins
manager Ron Gardenhire came out to argue and eventually was
tossed for the second time this season and 64th in his career.
Gardenhire tried to get West to look at where Willngham slid,
which was near the bag. ``He said, `don't point at my dirt,' ''
Gardenhire said, ``and I pointed at his dirt.''

The Joe West call at second may have been correct. Josh
Willingham had his back to the base and could not have reached
it. Unfortunately, we don't get to see Ron Gardenhire pointing
at Joe West's dirt.

That's hilarious.
Somebody put "First certifiably insane umpire" on Angel's page.

Is this the solution to bad umpiring?

Actually, it was Star Wars Day at Chase Field. The umpires were
Kerwin Danley, Bob Davidson, Jim Reynolds, and Paul Schrieber.
