Jealousy has reared its ugly head, I guess.

I am sure he is a wonderful guy and once again my position is not about him or anyone. But there are guys that have to grade out worse and there seems to be no fear of losing their job. Honestly that is all I am saying and when all these calls or situations come up, I would think that if some guys knew they might not be back if they are rated at the bottom and replaced the bottom with guys that can work, then the overall quality would change. And one of the problems is there are too many sons of former guys working in the Majors as well. You are telling me there are not other guys good enough than a son of a former umpire?
