Yeah, like that idiot, Bob Davidson, that took the run off the scoreboard 
from Atlanta in Game 6 of the NLCS.  After the game he was asked about the 
call and said, "Clearly, in my opinion, it was 100 percent correct.  I don't 
care what they show on TV, and that's the name of the game."  What the hell 
does that mean, that he's infallable, and TV replays lie?
And when McGriff argued that horrible called third strike, the home plate 
umpire immediately took off his mask, as if daring McGriff to challenge him.
Geez, I've always supported the umpires, but after these playoffs, no more.  
I can handle honest mistakes, but I can't handle these massive egos that lead 
to confrontation and won't allow them to ever admit they made a mistake.
