Friday night the Yankees were playing at Baltimore. Their 3rd baseman (what irony) hits a home run down the line. Umpire calls it foul. The Yankees pitch a fit, and the umpires....reverse the call and the home run gets put on the board!

 

Does this strike a familiar note with anybody? For me, the scab had just healed and this ripped it open again.

name one call jerry manuel has ever gotten reversed.

Um...umpires RARELY reverse their call. The only ones that have the integrity to do it are the solid veteran umpires, because the young guys have too much ego to admit they made a mistake. I don't know how long the ump in last night's game has been around, nor do I know how long the ump in that Baltimore game has been around, but I'd be willing to bet they were among the young ones in the game.

Well, blaming the umps is official White Sox policy, starting with the announcers, but my point was directed at our peerless leader.

By the way, after they reversed the call, Hargrove came out, and argued himself into an ejection. Which is the RIGHT thing to do. Time honored baseball tradition, when the umps make a call that either takes a run away from you that should have counted, or puts runs on the board for the other guys that should not have, you argue until the run you from the game. This shows the umps, but much more importantly your TEAM, that you care when you're getting screwed over.
