See? Exactly my point again. Judge, jury, and executioner. More of the "all knowing, all judging..etc. etc.". God, it must feel good to know so many absolutes.Racist calls in baseball?, by a margin of 10%!? So for example, Japanese umpires would call these differently?This is getting pretty comical.

And there ya have it again, must feel good to have such an enormous ego and to be so judgemental. I guess.
