Whitesoxfan56 Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 (edited) Forgive and forget The front page of Wednesday's Oakland Tribune featured a photograph of catcher Chris Widger tagging Mark Kotsay's foot in front of home plate, although home plate umpire Bruce Froemming ruled Kotsay safe. That call allowed Oakland to tie the game 3-3 in the fifth inning Tuesday night. "The umpires are human beings and will make mistakes," Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said before Wednesday's game. "They're going to make mistakes." Froemming, the crew chief, maintained there was "no carryover" when home plate umpire Hunter Wendelstedt ejected Guillen for the second time in as many seasons in the ninth inning Wednesday for arguing a call. "I respect Ozzie and his players," Froemming told a pool reporter. "But if anyone gets out of line—anybody—they're just like anybody else." - Mark Gonzales, Chicago Cubune Edited April 28, 2005 by Whitesoxfan56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JimH Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Good job on posting the photo. Ozzie is right, they are human beings and will make mistakes. Emphasis on the plural in mistake(s) in regards to this particular ump crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 I am sure we just have an optical illusion there. Reality has no place in blown umpire calls. I just hope it averages out for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSteve Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 That is just frustrating to lose a few games in bad ways. Early on we lost some bad games too. Damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Hopefully Kenny Williams gathers up all of these clips, pictures, and everything else, and sends it into the league office... along with a request to never again let this crew work vs the Sox again. Every single questionable call went against the team, along with at least 3 blatantly wrong calls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The umps probably sit around and laugh at it. It's OK, we're coming home and gonna kick some Tiger ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game was picked up from the point that call was made, and played to completion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
