It is hard to believe how badly an umpire can miss a call at 1st base.They had a call tonight where Carl Everett had his foot easily on the bag before Garciaparra caught the ball at 1st.Not a close call at all,but the guy botched it anyways.Anybody know how they discipline these guys? Do they allow them a certain amount of bad calls a year,and after that they ask them to either retire, or if not elligible,go back to the minors? Smoke came out of Everett's ears.
