Uh oh, things are going down. I can just imagine the Union and the Umpire's Union marching at one another, West Side Story-like.

Just last year? The same terrible umpires have been doing it for years. It's much more than a year long problem.

The Rays/Rangers game showed more evidence of blown up umps.

They missed a call on a steal at second, and the strike zone at the plate was the widest in baseball history. Incompetence.
