Bretman you are right, ?umpires are just like the teams themselves, ?you have good ones and bad ones. ? There are many good umpires that know the rules and enforce them in a fair manner. ? Fair doesn't mean equal, ?some teams commit more infractions that others, ?some teams make more plays on a given day. ? It gets harder to draw good, ?hard working, ?well intentioned umpires and officials for every sport when you have nut cases screaming at every call. ? A lot of times these people have no idea about the rules but just scream when they don't get there way. ? ?Alternately you umpires that don't understand the game, ? any game, ?and you have umps who want to get there cash and leave asap. ?
