That just kills me, JJ. That must mean that some imbecile (other than Hopkins) watched a kid make a catch of a fly ball and called it foul instead of out. Some rack head coach pointed out that if you inadvertantly call it foul it must be ruled foul. The umpire fell for it and the other guy rightly brought up the ussie to his state association. They cried long and hard about it and Hopkins figured that a little fix means that they can perpetuate their jobs another year. Like band aids on a ruptured aorta, they're at it again.

I've got to believe that umpire in question was from Jacksonville, Florida. (Love the photo, 28!)
