Interesting to read how MLB plans to handle a problem ump:

A quick quote from the piece:
"He seems to have forgotten the cardinal rule of umpiring: stay invisible. Anonymity is godliness to baseball’s arbiters, and Joe West is an infidel, an attention **** of Lady Gaga proportions whose proclivity for theatrics shames the umpiring profession."

Sound like anyone we know?  ::)

I will quote my father, quite the coach, to add to this
"The sign of a good ref is not knowing they are on the field"
You can have calls go against both teams but a game in any sport should have flow
