    Maybe because he just got his 3,000 K?

    the players are apparently against doing their own challenges because, even though some umps are terrible, the challenge thing in spring training showed the umps were more right than the players.

    whatever. I think bad umps can create lasting memories. remember when livan hernandez struck out 15 braves in the NLCS? :lol:

    believe it or not, more umpires are accurate than not, you just don't hear about those. it's like offensive linemen, you never hear about them unless something goes wrong.

    Personally my favorite called third motion is John Tumpane, who inherited the title from Tom Hailon

    I guess this proves it: Yankee Stadium is a pitcher friendly park!

    I guess this explains Max Fried’s and Carlos Rodon’s inflated numbers this season!

    This was false.  Someone did his HRs and all 36 would be HR's in Yankee Stadium and another 4 that ere pop outs would have left the right field short porch in Yankee Stadium so Dumper would have 40.

    Leave it to a NYer to start something ridiculous as this...

    I was actually very skeptical this was true, but I don’t have the time or energy, or care to attempt to debunk it.

    Someone did.  If I can find the link I'll post the debunking. He deserves the credit anyways.

    Big uprorar about the Miz going to the AS game.  Quite a few people get a snub.  Not sure why they choose him? Was it to create buzz?
