Umpires Are LIVID Over Commisioner Office's Questions...And They're Right!
2008-01-31 11:56:00 Hello on this cold and dark Thursday, the last Thursday of January. I came across an article this morning from the AP, and I was floored. Literally shocked and confused. Here's why. The commisioner's office of security has been going door to door to some of the major league umpires' hometown neighbors and asking RIDICULOUS questions. Here's a bit of that very article, and then boy oh boy, will I be back with some comments. Just try and stop me! Here you go...NEW YORK (AP) -- "Umpires are livid that Major League Baseball has sent investigators to their hometowns, asking neighbors a series of questions that include whether the ump belongs to the Ku Klux Klan."The questions that we found out are being asked are about beating wives, marijuana use and extravagant parties," World Umpires Association president John Hirschbeck said in a telephone interview Wednesday. "And then finally with this whole thing about the Ku Klux Klan."You get someone from security, shows his credentials and ...
MLB UMPIRES WEAR MASKS? AND HOODS?
2008-01-31 07:29:00 As could be expected, the NBA’s Tim Donaghy gambling scandal made the other leagues take a closer look at their officials. This doesn’t mean the NFL will go back and investigate the Steelers-Seahawks Super Bowl, or that MLB will investigate Matt Holliday’s slide. What it does mean is more intensive background checks for current or ...

Umpires too good for India
2008-01-07 07:16:00 The Sydney Test will definitely be remembered more for consistently shoddy umpiring which cost India dear than for anything else. After Ricky Ponting got a reprieve on the first day of the Test when on just 17, the next umpiring horror came when the Aussies were again in desperate trouble at 191/6. Symonds got a healthy nick to one from Ishant Sharma and Dhoni comfortably pouched it. The jubilation in the Indian camp quickly turned to stunned disbelief as Bucknor sagely shook his head to signal not out. Symonds was then on 30. Worse was to follow. With Australia on 238/6, Kumble drew Symonds forward and beat him with the turn, allowing Dhoni to whip the bails off. Bucknor referred the appeal for a stumping to third umpire Oxenford, who ruled him not out when all the experts on TV, including Aussie great Ian Chappell were convinced he was a goner. Symonds, then on 48, ultimately finished on 162 not out. The seventh wicket, which should have fallen at 191 carried the score to 307. Had...

Are Baseball Umpires Racist?
2007-08-15 09:11:00 Bad calls by the ump are as much a part of baseball as home run records, rabid fans and watery beer, but a new study shows that an umpire's decision may have a disturbing ulterior motive: racism. According to the new study led by Daniel Hamermesh, a professor of economics at the University of Texas at Austin, Major League Baseball umpires tend to call more strikes when the pitcher is of their same race; when they're not, umps call more balls. It doesn't happen all the time ? in about 1% of pitches thrown ? but that's still one pitch per game, and it could be the one that makes the difference.
