I'll miss Jim Joyce behind the plate. And who can forget the missed call and day after events of the no-hitter (or was it a perfect game?)

 

Considering how few umpires there are, four turning over in one year is pretty remarkable.

 

If you haven't, read "As They See Em" if you want a good baseball read about the umpires.

It was Armando Galarraga's perfect game... if he had to blow anyone's perfect game I'm glad it was the Tigers'

I liked Joyce but his bellowing strike calls really bothered me.

You probably really hated Dutch Rennert then.
