And I might be worse at a Caps game, especially if they're playing the Flyers or Pens.) But at the same time, I've never - and I mean NEVER - wanted a guy to get drilled.

Oh, I've been there. Watching my alma mater's basketball games I try to stay cool, and reading the basketball board helps, but every now and then...

That's the part I didn't like either. Of course I know some fanboys are going to carry on about some umpire has an agenda or that umpire doesn't like our team and I just roll my eyes and move on, but the fact that people are serious about hurting an umpire is what really ticks me off.

After missing two calls at 1st base in the LA - SF game tonight, including one fairly easy one, I vote yes.


Video to come when available.

First one was correct....Ball caught...foot on base...before batter runner got to base...momentum took fielders foot off base afterward.

Second one was booted!!

Pretty sure that one was last night (Monday). Are you talking about the play at first?

I think he got it right from slowing it down on DVR.
