Is Cabrera guilty of Vampiric Interference when he attempts to bite the catcher's arm?
(PS, click on Video after the posted link to see the play... the link doesn't take you there JW) (PPS - what the hell ever happened to "Show me the ball!")

I fixed the link
I love Dick Enberg here:
"What in the world is Gibson doing? He called Cabrerra out on a ball that went all the way to the screen. That is one of the most abominable calls I have ever seen."

Class? You are kidding, right?
Vin does certainly have class. Dick simply called it one of the most abominable calls he has ever seen. He was, in now way, lacking class. Can you please describe a worse call that you have ever seen? Last edited by jwwashburn; Tue Jul 17, 2012 at 10:47am. Reason: .

Yes because tearing into an umpire instead of saying hey he made a mistake but he fixed it immediately is the epitome of "You stay classy, San Diego."
None of us is immune from kicking the ever loving crap out of one once in a while, a concept that is fairly well lost to most announcers these days.

So, it is unclassy for an announcer to describe what he has seen?
Is it lacking class for an announcer to suggest that a third baseman has made a very unwise throw? ie boneheaded play In what instance would it be permissible to criticize an umpire? Last edited by jwwashburn; Tue Jul 17, 2012 at 11:09am. Reason: .

Had he stuck with the call, it seems to me then it could have been in the category of "worst call" or "most abominable" calls ever. Since he clearly didn't, seems to me it just ends up looking bad.
And Enberg using that word comes across as ignorant and inexperienced. Was that the most abominable throw from a pitcher to a catcher that he's ever seen? It was needless dumping, and he'll get away with it because no one (outside of officials) ever thinks twice about dumping on officials. When a million dollar pitcher panics and launches what should be an easy 60 foot throw to the back stop, that should be the focus rather than a momentary, but corrected, lapse in focus from the umpire. The umpire's error had absolutely no effect on the game. That can't be said for the pitcher's throw.
