IF anyone watched last night game they should really be raising some eyebrows about officiating in major league sports. There is only one person in that stadium that thought the Mexican HR was a double last night. The ball clearly hit the foul pole 8 feet above the fence and bounced back in. That call made our officials look like 1970's Russian Olympic basketball officials and disgraced the entire country..


"A television replay showed Valenzuela's fly ball hit the right field foul pole at least 10 feet off the ground and bounced back onto the field. However, first base umpire Bob Davidson didn't see it that way, and Valenzuela wound up at second. It was Davidson, umpiring behind the plate, who ruled that Japan's Tsuyoshi Nishioka left third base early in the eighth inning Sunday to negate a sacrifice fly that would have snapped a 3-3 tie in a game Team USA won."

Thats why it was mentioned many times that those guys working the WBC were many of the umps that were FIRED by MLB some years ago and were only working the games because the current MLB umps said they wouldn't be paid enough.
