But hey, at least our umps don't throw away games and bet.
Instead, they are so incompetant that they blow non-subjective call to the point where MLB feels obliged to install instant replay. But... they don't because they are that stubborn.
The NBA officials are far from perfect but the baseball ones tend to suck just as bad.
My problem isn't with the game of baseball itself, obviously. The only way I will watch again is when the last player from the steriod era retires. In my opinion, they all should have been banned from the game. Instead, the MLB fans just want to live in ignorance for the sake of the love of the game. I say that is b.s. logic. The game is full of cheaters, and teams that can hoard all of the best players because there is no salary cap (very much unlike the NBA actually).
I'll never understand why people find it so interesting to watch the Yankees, or another top 10 team in total payroll expenses winning the thing every year... but hey... if you like it, you like it.
