Bob Engel was a scab?? Explain please.
My mistake, Engel was not a scab. I didn't care for his appearance as I remember, nor his plate mechanics, but he was a fine official.

Let's try Blake Cullen, or Steve Fields, or John Shulock then. Pallone even.

There was nothing, NOTHING wrong with Pallone's umpiring. They just didn't like that he was gay.

And what was wrong with Shulock? He stayed in the majors for over 20 years and always seemed to do a good job.

Both were minor league umpires -- it's not like they were pulled off the street to umpire MLB.
And while we're at it - Blake Cullen wasn't even an umpire, let alone a scab. He was an umpire supervisor.

A word of advice for you, SanDiegoSteve - if you're going to start slamming people, at least GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!!
