I think that's a pretty good crew. IIRC Diaz is an inconsistent plate umpire. Miller has a good rep. I don't recall any issues with the other guys.
Diaz is horrible. Hudson and Wendelstedt have screwed stuff up before, but it could be a much worse crew.
Who was the d bag from last year's infield fly rule? Also, who is the d bag we recently had that was awful (I know that's like describing someone as medium build and sorta tall).

Did. Gregg ever get reprimanded for this game? I remember it so well and it was ridiculous.
I've got $1 on Hirschbeck or Diaz being the one to screw us this series. So between one of them and Schumacher and Uribe I say those will be the names we hear most in this series.
bucknor is working the a's series
holbrook is doing the cards series
If we had the best record would we have had Holbrook? Maybe dodged a bullet there.

I just pray for once an even called series. I hate to make excuses but more times than not, we are on the short hand of the deal regarding calls. I just want a fairly called series, and it seems these umpires, Diaz aside, are all pretty good at what they do.
