9/23/2007 Milwaukee (Capuano) at Atlanta (Reyes) 12:00 Noon CDT... it all comes down to this game

[Vgmastr]

Was that fat piece of garbage 1B ump paid off by the Cubs or something?

[JrDave2304]

Seriously, I never like to complain about umps but what a piece of garbage this guy is.

Tex barely got there in time...at the most, it was a tie, which should go to the runner either way. Just bad luck that Teixeira barely got a bat on it and it was hit so slow.

 

[Mike Felder]

Seriously, these umps can screw off. They are just horrible.

[Vgmastr]

This whole umpiring crew is an absolute joke. All series has been disgusting.

[crewcrazy]

Wow...Francoeur was out at 2nd...that wasn't even close. Ned gets tossed and throws in a 360 F-Bomb just for good measure. Now he's jawing at the first base ump, too.

[joeyhepatitis]

I cannot believe these umps. Absolutely disgusting.

[jhart05]

I like how Schroeder described that.

 

"An absolute joke."

[JrDave2304]

For the love of god. How does an MLB umpire crew miss that many calls in one game?

[jason21nl]

bill is so pissed, i love it

[chowyo123]

wow, i feel bad for capuano.

[Vgmastr]

This umpiring crew is responsible for all of Atlanta's runs today, just a total joke.

[jjfanec]

time linebrink or some reliever. This is the season ned, well i guess ned isnt around right now.

[Ennder]

Capuano stinks, he's obviously not a winner.

[Mike Felder]

That one's on you, umpiring crew. Ned should have just punched the 2nd base ump in the face. It would have driven his point home emphatically, and we wouldn't have him managing us for the last week of the season!

[JrDave2304]

This is absolutely depressing and disgusting

[crewcrazy]

My God. Capuano can't catch a break. Liner off the glove of Vargas for the tying run, too...incredible.

[hawing]

I'm surprised at the depth of emotion Bill is showing. That helps indicate how bad this is.

 

And I don't want to see ANYONE on this forum talking about yet another winless Capuano start. This is anything but his fault.

[thablingster]

These umpiring calls are a joke. An absolute joke. I don't care if Atlanta is the home team.

[brewmann04]

LOL now we know why this team is so horribel no relief pitching they stink and belong behind the cubs

[crewcrazy]

I can only hope the Brewers get some of these calls for the final homestand. The Tex call didn't bother me that much, but that Francoeur play was pretty bad.

[jason21nl]

you know its really bad when bill keeps talking about it

[windiv07]

This is unbelievable. Next time the Braves are up, I suggest a fastball right at the head of the home plate umpire first pitch of the inning. Rivera to stay down and make no attempt to catch the pitch.

[stoutdude04]

What happened on the second base call? I turned to the Packer game....ugh. This is sick.

[davemakovec]

This reminds me of that game in Houston where John Hirshbeck (you know he's bad when you hear his name on the radio) blew three identical calls at first base, all in favor of the Astros.

 

We won that game on home runs in the bottom of the eight and ninth. I feel similarly good about this one.
