Here is a New York Times story about the atrocious umpiring in this year's postseason play. I understand that human beings make mistakes. The mistakes made during yesterday's game between the Yankees and the Angels were so bad as to call the competence (or, dare I say it, impartiality) of the umpires into question. These are the best the game has to offer?
