The MLB needs to eject umpire Mike Everitt.
All by his lonesome he managed to eject V-Mart, JD Martinez, Brad Ausmus, and batting coach Wally Joyner.
The guy was calling a screwy strike zone that neither team was thrilled with. It was consistent for both teams but down on their shoelaces.
I was kind of surprised because from what I've seen Everitt is usually a solid ump and a fair one.
Did you remember: Everitt was the poor sap stuck with making the critical call in the infamous Bartman game---he was the left field line ump
when Luis Castillo's foul fly careened toward the stands and Moises Alou couldn't make the play on it. Everitt ruled the ball would have gone
foul with or without Bartman, which
was the correct call. It wasn't his fault the Cubs fell apart when Alex Gordon let a sure double play
ball bounce off his chest to open up an eight-run inning when the Cubs were five outs from going to the World Series.
