Lies, Lies, Lies, Yeah
Doug Eddings is pathological:
Given another chance, umpire Doug Eddings said he would've been more emphatic in making the call that helped the Chicago White Sox win Game 2 of the American League Championship Series.
...
Eddings told the newspaper that he planned to change his style to more clearly reflect the difference between calling a strike and calling a batter out.
That's his story and he's sticking to it. Of course the problem wasn't a lack of enthusiasm or confusion in Eddings' signals - his call of "batter out" came across loud and clear to all nine Angels on the field and an entire nation watching at home. The problem, as I see it, is that Eddings seems to think that he can undo the end of an inning and no one will notice. And so he can change his "style" all he wants, and it won't help one bit, as at the end of the day he'll still be a fucking moron. You are who you are, after all.
The article also notes that Eddings was welcomed by two OC Sheriffs deputies upon his arrival at John Wayne. I ask, where's the epidemic brutality when you need it? I expect Angels fans to give him a proper welcome on Friday.
