    I think it's weird to find the poor job they do charming or accept it as something that has to be a part of the game. Pretty much this. I'm not for "robot umpires" necessarily, but I AM 100% in favor of consistency and weeding out the worst of the worst, which does not happen. major league umpires are a lot better at their jobs than all of us are at ours. only difference is that when we screw up at our jobs, maybe 3 people care.

    more wrong that weird. we can significantly improve umpiring with relative ease. why wouldn't we do it? we can improve pitching by just using mechanical pitching machines that have pinpoint accuracy. might as well do that too.

    jesus you people are making me feel like bill plaschke. is it really that weird to want to have humans officiating a sport played by other humans?

    bad umpiring is not a significant issue that's crippling the game. not even close. for the most part they do a fine job. replacing the home plate umpire with a robot is just weird.

    if we had robot umpires, then greg maddux wouldn't be a hall of famer, and he's such a nice guy.

    So then you're in favor of wildly fluctuating strike zones? Sure. It's just a game, and having different umpire interpretations of a strike zone makes it more interesting

    When I lived in Chicago, I went to Wrigley when I was 4 or 5. I don't remember anything about the game other than the fact that the Cubs beat the Pirates. I'm not even sure what year it was. My triumphant return to Wrigley was this horrible game in 2003 where I nearly died of sun poisoning in the bleachers. So hot and miserable, but it was fun cheering Sammy on in the front row and telling Brady Clark how worthless he is. Cubs lost in the 10th inning after the Brewers scored 6 in the 10th. I didn't stick around to see the bottom of the 10th due to potential death. http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN200306250.shtml I don't sit in the bleachers anymore.
