That was absolutely disgraceful.

I just seen the final "run" and that ump deserves to be fired right now.

Fired? Pete Rose treatment is too good for this ump.

 

[BigJonsson]

YOUTUBE VIDEO!

WOW

Get Bud Selig down there now

Rofl

 

[SerArthurDayne]

Holy shit awesome. Umpiring is hard work, guys. You can't judge until you've been in their shoes and such. He missed the tag! (Note: I'm right about this because the box score says so!)

 

[Talon]

Julio Lugo's little shimmy after the "safe" is priceless.

As is Proctor's fall.

 

[jakncoke]

 

[Joey Fox]

Best interest of baseball clause please.

If Bud Selig can fuck up the All-Star game, he'd better fix this injustice on the Pirates and the National League!

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Not going to lie, a bit of a dirty win. But considering how many balls that asshole called strikes against the Braves all night, I'm okay with it in the end.

Sucks for Pirates fans though. I know they have to be furious. I kinda wanted Hurdle to deck Jerry Meals.

Games like this shouldn't end like that.

 

[BigJonsson]

So with Proctor falling on his face that would have been an inning ending DP?

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

Bang bang play http://twitpic.com/5wickc

 

[Doomsayer]

That ump didn't even have the balls to make the call while he was face to face with the catcher. Fucking pathetic.

 

[CriginsMcJuggs]

I guess you could make the case the ump missed the glove catching his pant leg and that was the only place he touches him with the glove.

Although he should be out based on the fact that the catcher is bear hugging him before he touches the plate

 

[CygnusXS]

I keep watching the video over and over and I burst out laughing uncontrollably every time.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

So with Proctor falling on his face that would have been an inning ending DP?

Yes.

 

[jman2050]

I mean, seriously, WHAT?

 

[Windu]

 

[ombz]

I've never been this pissed after a game.

 

[clemenx]

That pic is glorious, you have to laugh at the absurdity of the call. And after that he tagged Lugo like 2 times in the arm as he slid.

 

[lazybones18]

Just found out about the Pirates losing on a controversial call and just had to find out what the call was.....WHAT THE FUCK UMP?!

 

[Joey Fox]

Let me know the next time he comes to Nationals park so I can heckle the shit out of him.

What's his wife's name? Children?

 

[Talon]

That pic is glorious, you have to laugh at the absurdity of the call. And after that he tagged Lugo like 2 times in the arm as he slid.

He actually got him only on the leg, but that picture above was as clear as daylight. 30 seconds in.

 

[Jubs]

ROBOT UMPS

Jesus Christ lol. What a terrible, terrible call. If the Pirates miss the playoffs by a game or half a game, they'll know who to blame.

 

[ZeroRay]

Pretty disgraceful.

 

[ViperVisor]

We are even now.

He was called Out

 

[vas_a_morir]

Wow. What in the fuck, man?

 

[Windu]

We are even now.

He was called Out

ahem, posey

 

[CygnusXS]

Oh, also, this:

 

[Joey Fox]

If an umpire disrespects the game, his ass better get fucking fired.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

To be fair, the Pirates left runners on second and third in the 18th and 19th innings.

Both teams blew more chances than humanly possible.

 

[The Frankman]

You are fucking kidding me.

 

[Windu]

Oh, also, this:

lol

 

[CygnusXS]

 

[Malo]

What's going in here? *looks at gif* lmfao the ump just wanted to go home.

 

[PNut]

Lugo couldn't even keep a straight face in post game interview. :lol

 

[jakncoke]

that is so many cups haha

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

Anyone have video link to Pirates Broadcast of the play?

 

[Jangocube]

That had to be one of the worst calls I've ever seen.

 

[PNut]

Anyone have video link to Pirates Broadcast of the play?

Omg yes. Could you imagine the local Pittsburgh radio coverage of that play.

 

[Joey Fox]

To be fair, the Pirates left runners on second and third in the 18th and 19th innings.

To be fair? Says a fan of the team that won.

If the Ump is going to give the benefit of the doubt it, say he had sweat in his eyes or a blackout, it had better be to the team that was about to lose the game if not for the perfect throw and tag to get the runner out by three feet.

Check to see that the ball was still in the mitt, live to see another batter. Don't ruin your career. It better get ruined!

 

[ombz]

Omg yes. Could you imagine the local Pittsburgh radio coverage of that play.

I was watching the game from Pittsburgh. They weren't happy to say the least.

[Mr. Enigma]

Oh give me a break. The Pirates had THREE INNINGS against SCOTT PROCTOR and did nothing. How can you screw that up?!

 

[Jubs]

[PNut]

MLB Umpires are made men. He'll be working tomorrow.

 

[Windu]

Is anything even going to happen to Jerry Meals?

nope

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Is anything even going to happen to Jerry Meals?

MLB does not disclose any punishment to umpires.
