Dodgers vs Rockies... final out of 6th inning, throw pulls 1B helton 3 FEET from the bag and he still call him out... This guys is a CRew Cheif and post season unpire! WHy cannot the Home plate umpire overrule him or replay or something that was TERRIBLE! I know calls are "part of the game" but you expect at least competency.

I saw the replays of that and it was a joke. You could see Helton look up and sort of act like "what the heck, oh ok I guess I'll take it".

I'm not overly bothered by an ump missing a close play here or there but this wasn't anywhere near close. This was like calling an infield single a home run.

Players make terrible plays sometimes, umpires make terrible calls sometimes. Part of being human.

Just like on a double play, the second baseman can have his foot off the bag and it's an out. I believe many times if the ball gets to the bag before the runner, the foot does not have to be on the bag for an out as they are more concerned with a player getting injured. Many times you will see no foot on second base and still an out.

Maybe just a blown call at first also.

Yep so out of 176,435 plays this year in MLB you found a really bad one. And you needed television replay to confirm it.

We have to react in a millisecond on EVERY play, you guys get to sit there with slow-mo DVR's.

Had a guy last night come up to me and say remember that call you missed from LAST year....I chuckled and said, NOPE, but I do remember your wife is pretty smoking hot! smile

I've always said everybody should be required to do 3 things in life.... Coach a sports team, preferably an adult sport, Be married for at least 3 years and spend a year officiating multiple sports.

Try it sometime and get back to me ... grin

Last warning and you're out of here coach .. grin

Pier clearly didn't see the play - there was no replay needed to confirm that was a blown call. Of course they're not going to get every single bang-bang play correct, but man they ought to be able to get 100% on plays like that one!

I saw the play. I didn't mean this play I was talking in general. I too am dumbfounded on this one, probably the worst I've seen. And if it were my crew we would have got together and determined if the foot was pulled from the bag and got the call right. Not sure what MLB protocol is in this situation but they may want to look into it because that was crazy to say the least. smile

I've done your request pierbridge and still am, thankless job for sure, can't believe the list of enemies I guess I created what a bunch of crybabies and poor poor sports, I like when a missed call that has 0 effect on the game is still the big issue from the game.

      thats great to hear regarding the lake levels!!!!!!

      On an off light precipitation today. Hoping the weather this weekend will be nice so I can get out and crappie fish and check the weather. My yard has standing water and the driveway is a mess. Lot of lakes are near standard water levels which is good. Heard they are done stripping eggs on cut foot. Shaping up to be a good opener. Last year fished open water 60+ days and 28 different lakes. Hopefully bump both those numbers up this year

      I don't think its 100% accurate, you are just relying on other average joes to report precipitation. But I think most numbers there are right in the ball park, especially when you see consistency among multiple reports in a general area.   It's probably more accurate than what the weather terrorists say on the news  which usually only reports metro areas. cocorahs is good for getting rural area reports you just might not have as many reports to go off of

      Thanks Mike.  I've been looking at bags of it for years but never wanted to chance wasting good meat on it.  I have a gas and charcoal grills, but really love the flavor of charcoal over gas. Most of the time it's if we have time to use one or the other.

      On the south end...   The big open water, otherwise known as Big Traverse Bay, is ice free.  The bays and tributaries of LOW such as Zippel Bay, Bostic Bay and Four Mile Bay are ice free as well.  The lake is in good shape for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th. The many bays and backwaters of the lake have been receiving attention from spring pike anglers.  Some pike have already entered the bays, spawned and gone back out to the lake, but there are still a pile of fish to be had.   The pike season on LOW is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one fish allowed more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. On the Rainy River...  Another great week sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River.  The bite has been very good and lots of fish of all sizes are being boated.     Sturgeon are being caught from Four Mile Bay at the mouth of the Rainy River all the way to Birchdale, about 42 miles.  There are many boat ramps along the river to make life easy.  Starting from the east going west...   -Nelson Park at Birchdale (About 30 miles east of Baudette) -Frontier (9 miles west of Birchdale) -Vidas (Near Clementson Rapids) -Timbermill Park (East Baudette) -Peace Park (International Drive, Baudette) -Wheeler's Point (mouth of Rainy River)  The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Up at the NW Angle...  The Angle is ice free.  Resorts are gearing up for the fishing opener which is expected to be excellent.  The late ice bite was very good and the walleyes are in good numbers amongst the islands area of the NW Angle.

      Charcoal Briquettes are great for low and slow cooking as they produce long-lasting heat. Lump Charcoal burns hotter and adds more flavour to your food; therefore is great for hot and fast cooking.
