Chris Guccioni Can Suck My B@!!$
Guccioni was just terrible today. Good for Melvin for getting tossed. It had to happen. I hope they have Questec installed in the Bronx so Guccioni can get torn up in his next review.
What I think needs to change is how umps are judged. If a hitter like Raul Ibanez can't see a pitch within about an inch or so, he's not going to have any idea what a strike is and be horrible. But if an umpire misses, say, the outside corner consistently, that's just what his strike zone is and he's considered a good umpire. When Jamie Moyer lives on the corners but doesn't get the call and has to come down the middle, that's the umpire's fault, not Moyer's.
After running spell check on this post, it was recommended that I replace "Guccioni" with "zucchini."
