Then there’s the whole can of worms about umps each having their own strike zone – which may be higher, lower, bigger, smaller than defined in the rule book.

Can you imagine an NFL official being know for requiring a “short 10 yards” or a “long 10 yards” for a first down? :)

As a Twins fan, I’m really glad I was out of town all weekend, away from media…sounds like umpiring was bad all over. It is, alas, part of the game. I don’t mind close calls being botched here and there, but it sounds like some botched calls this weekend weren’t close…

I really like your round-up links–thanks for reading all these blogs I don’t have time to (although I wish I did!) and posting the best of them!

a post season like this and can instant replay be far off?

As for the “Genius Bar”, those guys are great. I am sure they will be able to help. Great Site.

Yeah, I’m not happy with some of the calls against the Rockies, either. But you know what I say … a bad game of baseball is better than a good game of [insert sport here]

I’ll also throw my weight behind the “any team playing the Yankees”.

Thanks for including my post! I appreciate it.

Sorry about your BoSox. My Chi Sox didn’t come close to a playoff run, so looks like I’m stuck with cheering for any team playing the Yankees! =)
