Matt, your arrogance astounds. It must be pretty special to be a perfect umpire. In over thirty years of umpiring I have made plenty of mistakes and learn from all of them. Some of my mistakes cost teams. Ultimately they execute the game but I have seen plenty of bad calls end games. I am reminded of a game ending balk during an NCAA Super Regional that had this forum aghast a few years ago. If you choose to subscribe to the belief that our bad calls don't matter, so be it. Armando Galarraga probably feels different than you do. I know that Jim Joyce does.

I assure you that your attempt to give me an *** chewing post-game would not end well for you. I appreciate the levity though.

Being a perfect umpire, you shouldn't have to worry about others like me who use discretion making your life tougher. I wish you well.
