Based on your initial post, which was really the spark of disagreement here, I didn't think you'd be happy unless they were deported to North Korea.

Obviously I was over the top in my initial post, but the officials did decide the game through their errors and made no attempt to correct them.
What's done is done. Hopefully this inexcusable situation doesn't happen again. I'd just like to see some of you be a little more objective looking at the situation. MD Longhorn was exactly right.
And for the record, I'm normally defensive of officials, especially in baseball with all of the "analysts" commenting on umpires, but as someone who watched this situation happen live and watched the officials abandon their posts at the end of the game, the officials deserve every bit of criticism they received.
