With all the b!tchin'

I wouldn't say "great" or "excellent". I'd say proper. He used proper technique and timing, and made the correct call. There was nothing special, nor heroic, about this call. It's a routine call, and one any second year umpire should make.

Now, with all the miscues, and faux pas in this post season, a proper call makes one take notice. That's a shame.

That's a shame.

You're a "glass half empty" kind of guy, aren't you?

I haven't got giddy about an umpires call since Ron Luciano gunned down a runner at first.

I take that back. When a LL umpire employs rule 7.13, and can either make a run dissapear, or three runners return to their bases, then I give the standing O. Now that's a great call.

It was still good to see a "proper" call!
