May 31, 200322 yr I have a buddy in Cleveland who is as hard core a Tribe fan as I am a Sox fan, and he really knows his s***, so I don't mind listening to him. Of course, we have running bets when we play each other. Since I could not see the game, I asked him what happened when JM got tossed. He said two things. 1) When JM got tossed he just turned and walked away, whereas Coach Kimm went screaming and fighting all the way; and 2) The plate umpire was awful the entire game in Cleveland's favor.

I saw the game -- the home plate umpire was VERY inconsistent, and it appeared to favor the Tribe. I don't mind a wide or small zone, but just keep it the same for both teams and stay with it the whole game. Is that asking too much?
May 31, 200322 yr that ump sucked..........very inconsistant..........definately in clevelands favor....most of it started with that high strike call to maggs(which me made a comment about while at bat) and it went down the toilet from there.......

I really could care less if your strikezone went from the players ankles to his eyes....as long as it is the same for both teams.
May 31, 200322 yr He calls that high strike on Maggs and then comes back and sqeezes Wright. It's like he took it personally and that's when it becomes a problem.
May 31, 200322 yr What was his name? Ever since the whole Dybas thing, all umps have been against us. Those little maggots should chill out. Nothing happened to Diaz, it was only that stupid Scrubs fan Dybas who got the crap beat outta him. But most ML umps suck anyways...
May 31, 200322 yr Speaking of umps... I made this point at the other boards a long time ago. I honestly believe that the umps are "getting back" at the sox for the attack earlier this year. Just WAY to many bad calls. This is another area i think KW needs to address... send something to the league... its bulls***.
May 31, 200322 yr Maybe next time an umps bein a pain, Miggy should let one squeek by (with no one on of course) and hit the ump right in the gut, or maybe let a low one go by so he can take it in the shin where he aint got no paddin. It would serve the moron right!

That and they just have a combined IQ equal to that of the grits I ate for breakfast...

That and they just have a combined IQ equal to that of the grits I ate for breakfast... Well if you are going by the actually amount of grits you ate... thats a pretty high amount in even a tablespoon full
May 31, 200322 yr Yeah, Im sorry. I shouldnt have ripped on the grits like that. Theyre not even as dumb as the umps...
May 31, 200322 yr That and they just have a combined IQ equal to that of the grits I ate for breakfast... With lots of butter? mmmm....grits
May 31, 200322 yr Heck yeah lots of butter. Cant have grits without the butter... Personally, i cant stand grits. god bloody aweful. Cream of Wheat + 2 teaspoons brown sugar.... HMMMM HMMM GOOD
May 31, 200322 yr The home plate umpire for Friday's game was Mark Wegner. I don't know anything about him -- all I know is that he was horrible on Friday, and I hope we don't see him again this year.
May 31, 200322 yr Honestly, Ive never eaten grits in my life. They look absolutely awful. But I didnt want to compare the umps IQ to the pancakes I really had. That just doesnt sound harsh enough...
May 31, 200322 yr The home plate umpire for Friday's game was Mark Wegner. I don't know anything about him -- all I know is that he was horrible on Friday, and I hope we don't see him again this year. I hope we see him again! So Miggy can let one past and hit him in da nuts!
May 31, 200322 yr I hope we see him again! So Miggy can let one past and hit him in da nuts! While it would be funny, why would Miguel do something to get suspended? That wouldn't help us at all.
May 31, 200322 yr The Herald says Miggy told the ump to "Call a strike" and Wegner told him to "Shut up."
May 31, 200322 yr The Herald says Miggy told the ump to "Call a strike" and Wegner told him to "Shut up." If that is true, that umpire needs to be suspended and fined heavily. His job is to call balls and strikes, not to get snippy with a player.
May 31, 200322 yr The Herald says Miggy told the ump to "Call a strike" and Wegner told him to "Shut up." What the heck? Well next time we see him and hes laying cross eyed on the ground praying his balls still do their thing, I hope Miggy tells him to shut it too...
May 31, 200322 yr If that is true, that umpire needs to be suspended and fined heavily. His job is to call balls and strikes, not to get snippy with a player. Just put me at catcher and have him ump. Thatll end up much worse than any suspension could...
May 31, 200322 yr You got to like Miggy standing up for the team though... is it just me, or is everyone else looking forward to seeing this kid play everyday? (not that I'm happy that Sandy got hurt again, but he looks like he's going to be a real stud!... the highlight of the season for me so far.)
May 31, 200322 yr Personally, i cant stand grits. god bloody aweful. Cream of Wheat + 2 teaspoons brown sugar.... HMMMM HMMM GOOD I'm with you Method.
May 31, 200322 yr Personally, i cant stand grits. god bloody aweful. Cream of Wheat + 2 teaspoons brown sugar.... HMMMM HMMM GOOD I'm with you Method. Good. Then i have my first recruit for a new social order.... Ah! i can see it now... a grit free world....
