    Three members just killed themselves because you posted this. Their blood is on your hands, and the next time someone sprays you with Luminol and aims their black light at you, everyone will be able to see where you've been touching yourself.

    Yeah we have been on the shorthand of some terrible postseason officiating.

    What gets me though now looking back is our guys didnt adjust to it. He was calling it way outside, but it was clear he wasnt changing his zone.

    This was a game that I never got to see on TV, and thank GOD for that. I would have destroyed my television.

    You can't hit some of those pitches with any kind of authority. Chances are they would have just hit dribblers to short.

    Love the part in that clip on the game ending strikeout where the announcer goes "And he K's him on what WAS ball 4"... not what looked like ball 4. It's bad when the announcer clearly says it's not a strike.

    Was there ever an investigation about that game? Gregg had to be betting on that game.

    No, but the league did seemed to specifically relish dumping him during the umpire's strike. Which is about as proactive as they've ever been against umpires.

    He couldn't have been betting on the game. It was too obvious!

    Gregg actually met the media after the game. I was actually there, covering it for my newspaper, and missed one deadline because I got writer's block for the second time in my life. I knew I couldn't possibly write what I was thinking, so thankfully a number of the players saved me the trouble.

    Adjust to it? By doing what?

    I can actually see that. When you are so mad, words escape you even though you had a full plan on what you wanted to ask/say. Unlike Dalyn who never has writer's block, I have it lot when writing stories.
