This post is here because if I posted it in the umpires forum most would not see it--Big Joe West, MLB Umpire, issued a public defamation of the Yankees and Red Sox--yes they play long games and the fans love it--great baseball--it is part of the Yankee/RedSox lore going back to old Giant/Dodger battles in NYC
If they have a problem with time then inject the rules that are there--do not go public like a baby--is this overwieght umpire missing his fourth meal because of the game time--he should know that restaurants, and good ones, stay open late in Boston
I thought umpires were to be seen and not heard--guess the HS syndrome has reached the pros
Not a good thing
