frikkin' beautiful...

yet another blown call to the favour of the Yankees... that's 4 in two games. It's getting kind of tiring watching the bias towards the Yankees game after game....

Believe it or not MLB, there are other teams competing in baseball...

Contest Update

Alright, so round two is complete! The semi-finals start on Sunday.

Carolina Hurricanes @ Pittsburgh Penguins

Chicago Black Hawks @ Detroit Red Wings


How did you do in round two? Did your teams make it through?


as an aside, I can't begin to put into words how utterly horrible the officiating has been. Especially in round two. I'm almost glad my team was eliminated in the first round as I do not think I could handle the stress of such seemingly biased refereeing. It's crept into every series, although I do not know their names, so I'm not sure if it's the smae guys or everybody.
If I was Detroit right now, I would be extremely upset. It wasn't Anaheim that lost 4-3 last night. The score should've been 3-0 Detroit. The refs had 4 goals last night. But unless you saw it, you have no idea of what I'm talking about.

Bring on the semi-finals!

This just in...

apparently in an effort to save money in this economy, MLB has designated the home team to provide the umpires for each game.

Needless to say, it's not going well for Atlanta in Philly. I'm not sure what drug the homeplate umpire is on, or whether he just can't see further than five feet in front of him.

Bobby's going to get tossed tonight, I can feel it. With Hamels running 3 feet in fair territory causing the throwing error, and the ump not even asking the 1st base ump on appeal.... I dunno.

On top of that, we get to see Hamels laughing about it in the dugout, gesturing to his teammates how far he was in fair territory... it's going to be a long night.
