Oof.. Angel Hernandez is still an umpire?

 

[dabuddha]

Every year I hope Joe West and Angel Hernandez retire...and every year I'm disappointed. Are there two more worthless umpires in the game (or officials in any sport) than these two? Most people that suck at their jobs for 10+ years get fired. Not these two jackasses.

Let me introduce you to Kerwin Danley

I still remember this pitch Joe Nathan threw that was 2 feet out of the strike zone and he called it a strike 3 (2 years ago LOL)

There are many many more incidents with this useless ump

EDIT: Not Danley, was Marty Foster

I think Joey Crawford for the NBA would rank in that discussion, but yes, I agree with everything you say.

I disagree, sort of. I have no data to back this up, but it seems as though Joey Crawford has no qualms t'ing up superstars on a whim. You have to love that. He is overly dramatic, sure. His competence, or lack thereof is in no way shape or form as blatantly, shamelessly and awfully bad as someone like angel hernandez.

Masters thread on page 1. Mlb thread on page 3.

I won't stand for it.

Nice outing for harvey today.

Who said Jon Lester has problems picking guys off the bases?

Bottom line the runner was out

Haha its going to be a race between them and Atlanta to see who can be the worst.

Braves have been a pleasant (to me, as a fan) surprise so far, and it's been intra-division. I'll be surprised if they finish with more than 80 wins but I like it when no-names pull together as a team.

Fernando 'Fat Fuck' Rodney blew another save. No idea why he is still in the league.

Hoping the Sox can pull this game off.. would be nice to get 2 wins against the Royals today.

Go Cards!
