Terry May was seen kissing Large Marge and telling us:

It's funny but it's those morons like McCarver who have allowed this to 
become the norm. They say "I don't mind it as long as they call it both ways" 
and because it's a former player, nay, former catcher, it's ok and the 
umpires see it as a way of justifying their strike zones. I agree with your 
assessment and it has nothing to do with the Braves or anything that's 
happened in these playoffs.
Gregg's attitude is just yet another example how arrogant the umpires are and 
how they've brought all their problems on themselves. They keep talking about 
how they're going to take things into their own hands because baseball won't 
do anything for them and yet, the game is about the players and not the 
umpires. It's the glory seeking umpires that's made things bad between the 
players and the umpires and even more so, it's Phillips' insistence on 
keeping the umpires from being truly disciplined that they have a hard time 
of weeding out the bad eggs.
