Thumbs down MLB Umpires-How bad are they?

I was watching Yanks-A's last night and veteran umpire Derryl Cousins has got to kidding with his strike zone. He is one of the most liked ump's in the majors but come on. There was a called third strike on Granderson that hit the chalk line of the opposite batters box, a good 6 inches off the plate. When Gardner was clearly hit on the back of his hand he missed that at first until Gardner showed him the mark from the ball. He kept calling for more baseballs from the visitors dugout and actually turned the wrong way looking for the ball boy on several occasions. Maybe it is time to head out to greener pastures.
