The WORST umpire in MLB...

If you want to claim that C.B. Bucknor is the worst umpire in MLB, that's fine--although absurd. But, your comment was: bad umpire= C.B. Bucknor. If he's a bad umpire, what are you? The worst t-ball umpire ever? Just so you know, the Southwest Plane view camera doesn't come from a true angle and you also have no idea how good the worst professional umpire is compared to you

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.
