Anybody have a clue what is going on with this man? He didn't work the playoffs last year, and unless he gets the WS assignment, he won't work the playoffs this year. I know that the players always vote him among the top of the best umpires, and I think he is very good, despite the whole perfect game incident that people won't let go.

So the question is, did he piss somebody off in New York? Or is he just backing out of postseason assignments, or what's the deal? I always enjoy watching him work.
