Doing away with umpires would solve most of baseball's ills.
Dodgers vs. Cubs:
That call reversal on strike three to Granderson was ridiculous! At least the next pitch was strike four...
Not sure which ump was the crew chief, but he should have put an end to the "conferring" over whether a 95 mph pitch was ticked by a bat moving at least that fast. The 3rd base ump can't actually see that. It has be the ears of the guy right next to the batter. If the crowd noise obliterates the sound, then the batter didn't get enough of it. Replay, which they can't use for some stupid reason, did not show the ball changing direction. Why not look at the ball? (Maybe it had already been mingled with other balls removed from the game.) Ump admitted changing the call was bogus after the game.

That is what I was thinking, or the fact he doesn't like the two teams who may end up in the WS.
Oh yeah, a Dodgers Yankees World Series will trigger a lot of peopleThat is what I was thinking, or the fact he doesn't like the two teams who may end up in the WS.

My Facebook feed is already blowing up with the yankees winning and taking the lead in the ALCS. Fingers crossed they pull it off and make it to the WS.
Well the Dodgers are in. Now it comes down to who is going to be representing the AL! Let's go Yankee's......
THIS. I hate both LAB and NYY.That is what I was thinking, or the fact he doesn't like the two teams who may end up in the WS.
There’s actually something special about rooting for a team everyone else hates. And now people are calling the Yankees “likeable” and I don’t know how to feel about it lol
Congrats Houston, enjoy your 2nd pennant in 56 years. Yankees will get their 41st next year.
Yeah, like I'm listen to the guy who said the Yankees would win game 7.
Totally forgot they lost to the CHISOX in '05....
Can't stand Roger Clemens. Glad they lost.

Clemens helped the Yankees in 1999 and 2000 so I can’t hate on him, but if he wasn’t on my team absolutely haha
That White Sox team was the cleanest team in that generation to win the World Series.
What broke the Red Sox 86 year drought? Steroids
What won the Word Series for the Yankees in 2009? Steroids
In 2000, Jason Giambi won MVP ahead of Frank Thomas, who was likely the actual best hitter of his generation
The 2005 White Sox had zero starters accused of taking steroids.
