This shows what Romeo stated about it being a good ol' boys union.

On May 1, 1980, Bill Madlock, of the Pittsburgh Pirates, had an argument with umpire Jerry Crawford.[5] He was fined $5,000 and suspended for fifteen days, but he had not served his suspension nor paid his fine by June 3, because of appeals to both the National League president, and the Commissioner of Baseball. Because of that, Phillips threatened to have the umpires eject Madlock from games, if he did not serve his suspension.[5] That threat raised an uproar, with comments from the NL president, the vice-president of the umpires association, and the vice-president of the Pirates.[5]

In 1999, Phillips advocated a strategy of mass resignations. That strategy backfired, as Major League Baseball "called their bluff" and accepted the resignation of most who had submitted them, terminating their employment and promoting replacement umpires from the minor leagues.[2] Both Phillips, and twenty-two of his umpires were out of jobs.[6] The umpires, led by John Hirschbeck, later voted 57 to 35 to decertify the union, replacing it with the World Umpires Association led by Hirschbeck.[6]

Chi Sox are terrible
They traded a lot of their pitching talent. I hope they got something worth while in return down in the minors or they are going to stink for a while.

Feels like we’re the world champs playing a triple A squad the last few days.

Awfully poor ab from Profar....Just don't understand taking a very good pitch for a called 3rd strike.

At least Gallo isn't letting his hitting whoa's effect his defensive concentration.

Actually, I think he's prick in general, even though it may be a tad worse on the Rangers.

I've always considered this guy a bad umpire and a worse person, yet he works almost every year in the post season.

Looks like Cole did us no favors in the 5th. The return has been decreasing last couple of starts

Sorry guys, but gotta call the way I see it, and that was THE WORST AT BATS I'VE EVER SEEN FROM Beltre!

Swings at a pitch a foot outside, and then sissies out on a 3rd call strike in the 8th with the tying runs on base. I say again, SORRY, but that was some weak-ass-shit.

Ump calling ball and strikes is awful. Screwed Choo and Bertre like a $2.00 lady of the evening.
