I don't understand the need for a personal attack here.... he did not say that he should be an MLB umpire, he just said that Bucknor is the worst umpire in the MLB. A little defensive are we for some reason?

Anyway... obviously there are a few MLB umpires that are the weakers amongst the best in the world. I would agree that CB Bucknor does enlarge the corners of the plate and that Angel Hernandez has no feel for the game.... especially on the bases.

These guys are good umpires, but don't appear to be as sharp as their colleagues... I think that is all that he was saying.

Thank you, but my god, I didn't ask for your personal attack jont. But thanks, I got a nice laugh out of it. If you even read my ENTIRE post, you saw that I said no umpire is the worst because they are all there for a reason, they are good. But even among the most elite, there has to be a weakest link. All I said was I think Bucknor, as Baseball_North said, is not as sharp as his co-workers, thats all.

I thought about this post last night as I watched the Miss America pageant and tried to decide which was the ugliest.
