Watching the end of the Brewers game last night and the Cubs game tonight I would swear the same guy is calling the game. He is consistent- consistantly bad that is. Marmol struck Burrell out earlier on a perfect pitch that he did not call. Demps just got hosed on about 4 strikes that inning. Then the poor C- Ruiz- comes up and he calls the first pitch to him a strike that was 8 inches outside. I'm glad he did, but this guy is horrible. I cant believe Manuel hasnt been tossed yet, not to mention Lou.

The home plate ump was pretty bad tonight.

If Ron Santo was within striking distance I think that ump may have been picking himself up off the ground.

Santo was really getting agitated on those calls. So was I for that matter.

You know it is a bad call when the batter starts to walk away thinking he struck out.

Did you so those last two strikes called on Fontenot today they were at least 6 inches off the plate.

It was just as questionable today. There for a while I thought the only thing that was going to be called a strike was letter high fastballs down the middle.

Iassogna is supposed to be a hitters umpire....or according to Bob he is and from what I saw it was a pretty tight zone.
