Another baseball fraud

When Tim McClelland, supposedly the best umpire in baseball, supposedly just "blunders" -- on a play that was this obvious -- it's clear that the fix is in this postseason. I don't know whether gamblers have taken baseball over, as in 1919, or whether the league is dishonest in general, but it's just not possible that the best umpire in baseball coincidentally makes the "worst call of all time."

I'm not so paranoid that I don't believe in coincidences. But this is asking the viewing audience to believe in the impossible.

New York, start celebrating the World Series championship. You got it the old-fashioned way: somebody paid for it.
