I feel like a broken record over the years, but seriously, why the fuck to home plate umpires insist on calling a strike on a check swing instead of just using the base umpire? Is it really that hard? Bob Davidson did it twice to Miguel Montero last night (and from the angle behind the pitcher, I don't think he went on either one). I think that should be a suspend-able offense from an umpire, it's just unfair and unnecessary.
The thing you need to remember is that all Cardinals fans and all White Sox fans are very bad people. It's a fact that has been scientifically proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. Being a Cubs fan is the only path to rightousness and piousness. Cardinal and White Sox fans exist to be the dark, diabolical forces that oppose us. They are the yin to our yang, the Joker to our Batman, the demon to our angel, the insurgence to our freedom, the oil to our water, the club to our baby seal. Their happiness occurs only in direct conflict with everything that is pure and good in this world.
