MLB plans 'stern' talk with umpire.....

[PeteBooth]

MLB is about MONEY. People do not want to pay HUGE prices to see a game and then have the STAR player or players tossed.

You cannot compare what is done at the Major League level to what we do.

IMO, the MAIN problem is that MLB needs to take control of the umpiring. If MLB does not want STARS getting tossed in the first few innings, then this message needs to be conveyed under no uncertain terms which apparanetly by what's happened to Joe West and now the Oswalt incident MLB is now doing.

Oswalt is not receiving any kind of suspension or fine.
