Yankees/Mets Umpiring Crew
Did anybody see the names of the umpiring crew working the Yankees/Mets series this weekend?

The crew is Gerry Davis, Tim McCleland, Larry Poncino, and Ed Hickox.

With two regular season crew chiefs and MLB veterans as well, plus Poncino as well, MLB wanted to make sure no funny business broke out this weekend.

Why? It's not like they have to worry about Clemens and Piazza anymore.



Tim.

At least not until the Padres and the Astros get together next.

I saw that too and was very shocked. If nothing else, this is a very good crew. The Mets broadcasters were commenting on how we got Tim in back-to-back series, but they weren't complaining. I also noticed in the last series that Larry was working with 3 fill-ins (in Cincy), so I guess MLB wanted some more experience working these games. No complaints from this Mets fan.

I heard Ed rented a Dodge instead of a Chevy this time, also. Shocked the heck outta me.

Are Gerry, Tim, Ed, and Larry aliens or something? Last I checked, this was an UMPIRING forum. As long as these guys are UMPIRES, why the hell can't we discuss them without snide remarks? If you don't like it, don't read it. Your incessant yapping is almost as bad as the rats you claim to hate.

The way you discuss it, they might as well be Brad Pitt, Jolie, and Britney Spears

Yeah, they are definitely umpires. So why not talk about their UMPIRING? That part of them never seems to get discussed! All I hear is, "gee, MClelland worked two series in a row!"

Where did I claim to hate coaches? You are inventing, now.


...and, I'll post all the snide remarks I wish, until bob j says otherwise
