Politics, unions, and such

I went to a Florida State League
game here a couple of weeks ago and
the 2 man crew were "replacement umpires".
An older guy working the plate was all
over the place with his strike zone-- some players
complained a bit. I usually give the men in blue
the benefit of the doubt- but this was a classic
example of inconsistancy.

On the other hand, here in the Texas League, the replacements seem to be doing an excellent job.
