Hardly.  When the umpire changes the rules for both teams, that doesn't make 
it fair for both teams; it makes it UNfair for both teams.  There was nothing 
"fair and square" about Eric Gregg's strike zone.  Now I'm not saying the 
Braves would have won the series had the games been called correctly, but I 
am saying that in many cases, the umpires took the game out of the player's 
hands, and whether they were consistant or not, that's NOT fair.  It's no 
better than an umpire deciding two strikes is a strikeout, but one team 
adjusts better to his rules than the other team.
