Announcers are glorified cheerleaders

I think it would be for best you don't have every ump having a different strike zone some even having different zones for different teams on the same night.

Last night, I watched the Yankees at the White Sox. Laz was missing calls by over 6", inside, outside, too high, and nearly in the dirt. It reached a point where Aaron Boone, the Yankees Manager had at him. Of course he got booted from the game, but he had his say, and I totally agree with him. There were so many missed pitches by this guy I wondered what he had on people, to even allow him to be an umpire, let alone at the Major League level. He's horrible.

Boone was funny though. He made me laugh.

That's any league you look at any player or coach who says anything at all bad about them gets fined by that league. It's like we got to protect the refs and umps at all cost no matter if they screw up and deserve what the player or coach said.

We need to protect the people who rig the outcome of games. Deny, deny, deny.
