I don't know how these guys can live with themselves (when they see an obvious ball called a strike all night long on sportscenter etc.)

that ump should be suspended

Hes not the first guy to get called out on a bad strike 3 call. Geez, what a baby. You have to wonder if he was mad that he couldnt help his team stretch their already 5-0 lead or if he wanted to improve his personal stats.
I understand his competitiveness, but throwing your gear in the air? All the things I hear about him (like how he refused to play more than 5 games in the minors to get ready) make me not question Theo Epstein's strong desire to get rid of him. Super player but as Jason Bay has proved, not irreplaceable.
