9th inning in the Mets/Giants game:
1. Ump calls 2 balls on K-Rod that were clearly in the strike zone, causing Henry Blanco to turn around (which you never see a catcher do). Ump nearly ejects someone but then decided he did fuck up.
2. Wright throws home, Ishikawa is clearly safe but called out.
3. Huff dribbles in front of home plate, Blanco throws to 1st for the final out of the inning...3rd base ump runs in and says no, it was foul...even though it wasn't his call to make and it wasn't even close to being foul. Mets thankfully get out of the inning anyway.
All that in one fucking inning. If MLB doesn't institute replay of some kind after this year, then they should fire most of the umps and get some young blood in there. These guys can't cut the mustard.
