I am a newbie here but just have to vent. The umpiring in this series has been atrocious, but so is our manger for not protesting it. One job for a manager is to protect and support your players. How much would the game have changed had Rocco come out of the dugout as Duffey kept getting screwed on calls? How much if he had gotten in the umpire's face when we didn't get the same call. Blaming the ref is the oldest excuse in sports, but here the shoe fits. We have been watching the TV with the sound off and the radio tuned to some real broadcasters. Frankly tired of Smoltz commenting on Yankee hitters when Twins are pitching and Yankee pitchers when Twins are batting. There are TWO teams out there. But then what do you expect from the guy who lost game 7 to another guy who is a better commentator (and pitcher). Apparently he still hasn't gotten over it. Get him out of there. NOW.
