The clubhouse is closed for 10 minutes after the last pitch of the game. The media then can go in to conduct interviews. Most of us use a side door to go into Joe Torre’s office first.
As we were filing in today, four men came pushing through the crowd with their luggage. “Excuse us,” one of them said. “We’re in a hurry.”
They were the umpires, who clearly had a plane to catch and traffic to beat. They were practically sprinting for the exit.
You don’t think that had anything to do with first base umpire Wally Bell punching out Michael Cuddyer to end the game, do you?
Nah, no way.
haha nice story Pete.
You nailed ‘em, Pete! Even Paul O’Neil(Mr. anti-ump) thought it was a questionable call.
And they kept from showing the definitive angle too. I didn’t think he went too far but Wally Bell was off the field in a hurray
Oh, please. I’ve seen our guys get rung up on less.
it’s funny — I was wondering about that very thing, as the ump did seem to be in a huge rush to get out of there.
They just wanted to improve the Yankees’ record in one-run games.
They don’t call it a “Gettaway Day” for nuttin’
HA!
You’re too cynical!
so they were in a hurry because they made a bad call
or
they made a bad call because they were in a hurry ?
god i hate umpires, referrees, officials, and judges.
