OT: Jim Joyce voted MLB's best ump

[TOX1]

Jim Joyce was voted the best umpire in Major League Baseball in a poll of 100 players conducted by espn mag.

espn aka the toilet said that 50 active players from each league were asked confidentially within the past week to select the best 3 umpires in baseball. Joyce was named on 53% of the survey, topping Tim McClelland.

Wow...turns out you can make a blunder of epic proportions and still be the best.


Sorry Winged Wheel. I'm just telling the story man.

He is the best. That's what made it so shocking

If Jim Joyce hadn't been so adamant when he made the "out" sign, I could have given him a break. IMO, he had made up in his mind, somewhere up in that fucked up brain of his, that if it was a close play he wasn't going to call the baserunner out.

He may very well be the best ump in baseball, I wouldn't know. What I do know is he made one of the worst calls in baseball history. We're talking top 5 at least.

My angry signature stands.

He's a dooche bag. The tigers aren't my team, but when any MLB pitcher(excepting BOS, and NYY) have an opportunity for a perfect game and/or no-hitter, and the ump costs him the record, I have no sympathy for him.

In the end, it's water under the bridge, but I still question how Joyce can fuk up a call like that in the 9th inning, no less. It's just something that should not have happened.

A bit more from that:

CB Bucknor was voted the game’s worst ump.

Also, 86 percent of players agreed that commissioner Bud Selig should not have overturned Joyce’s call that denied Armando Galarraga the 21st perfect game in big league history.

The issue of instant replay also was addressed, and 77 percent said there should be no replay on base calls.

Yeah, I'm sure he didn't get any sympathy votes.

I don't think I like the tone that is implied in that post.

I screw up at work all the time, I'm just glad millions of people aren't watching.

Wasn't Joyce the main reason why Detective Murtaugh couldn't retire when he wanted to?

It wasn't Joyces fault. Murtaugh never finish the addition so he couldn't get fair market value for his home.

I think it's too long of a season to base anything on one call
