The officiating in both LCS series has been disgusting. There is the obvious call that got all of the attention in the AL series. There have also been the following:
Cuzzi's floating strike zone and arrogant ejection of Edmonds.
Grudzielanek's foul ball off his foot called fair (Game 2).
Molina's pick off of Burke that was called safe (Game 3).
Nunez's foul ball called fair (Game 3).
And two questionable calls:
Game 4's game-ending double play.
Nunez's tag on someone's triple in Game 2.
While both of those are close, the officials have given me no reason to have any confidence that they got the calls right.
There is obviously a serious problem that needs to be addressed here. I will be the first to admit that the Cardinals have played some bad baseball. But how many of those bad calls prohibited or ended a rally? Every hit counts in these pitcher's duels, and every at bat is important. How many umpiring screw ups have cost the Cardinals a chance to get things going?
Are you all this arrogant? Is this something they teach you in umpiring school? Cuzzi's lack of professionalism and failure to call a consistent strike zone should cost him his job.

If you were the umpire, and a batter got up in your face and called you a "f***ing a**hole" at the top of his lungs, I suppose you would say, "why thank you sir, you're right, I am a 'f***ing a**hole'".
Typical fan. Are you all this arrogant?
Okay, now I should be off the hook for tying for the dumbest post ever! Guys?
