If I did not know any better...

Cowbyfan1,

I'm from no where near the mid-west, but from what I'm reading here, you may want to watch your criticism of the TX umps for actually calling a pitch that catches a corner (whether the corner intended or not) a strike. Last time I read the rulebook, a pitch that crossed the plate within the strike zone was a strike...correct me if I'm wrong, but the black of the plate is still within the strike zone.
