Second, those of you who are Joe West haters - I do not understand this either. Perhaps he is not the warmest of umpires on the field, but he has a consistant strike zone and he does a good job on the bases.

Ed Montague, he too must be doing something right, he was only the crew chief in the world series last year.

You wanna know why I hate Joe West? Let me explain my stance, please. He called Mark Bellhorn out the other night on a pitch that was well below the knees. His strike zone is consistently inconsistent and he has a habit of finding an argument too often.

Second, Ed Montague was NOT the only crew chief is the Series last year- what do you think Dale Scott, Charlie Reliford, and Gerry Davis are? Ed was crew chief of the Series (and the All-Star Game. And a Divison Series crew.), but he was not the ONLY crew chief. And yes, I do believe that Ed is a very good umpire.
