I was at work and I flipped to watch the last inning. I was mortified the sport I love has been fucked over. I can recall very few true "oops" calls in the WS, that truly affected the outcome of the game. There have een a few these past couple years but none more apparent than tonight's non call.

The one where Rollins clearly got hit by the pitch is the huge one. Add that to the non balk call of last night. And to me, who has watched baseball all my life, it says the games are either fixed or the umpires are truly bad at their jobs.

I have come to the conclusion that pro sports is fixed with that call. MLB now has instant replay and could have done something about that but chose not to.

NFL refs making "mistakes", NBA refs on the take and now MLB umps not making the right calls......

I truly have become tired of professional sports. Too many scandals, too many refs and umps on the take.... too many games where the "mistakes" are so obvious it is almost apparent the game is fixed. Too many games where teams don't cover the spread and could have kicked that field goal in the final minute but instead ran the clock out saying it was "poor coaching and time management". Cough cough.... Browns vs Steelers... cough cough

Or a player who reported no injury, poked himself in the eye before a big game, with a division rival that is also without a win.Then all of a sudden, said player "is battling elbow problems from the game before that" and has missed every game since. cough cough Carson Palmer cough cough.... The annonoucers on the Cleveland radio network talked about it the whole game. Asking "how could someone knowing this was a big game poke himself in the eye and miss it."

Or a team that suspends arguably their best and most consistent offensive player due to his "disruption" to the team...... cough cough Browns cough cough..... there was no disruption, K2 simply asked why Phil Savage never called him in the hospital and that he felt like a piece of meat. Also, how many players get staph infection and miss only 1 game???????? Something is fishy there. Even Cleveland radio announcers on the station that carries the game are questioning why.

I wonder if people looked deep enough, if they would see huge bucks put on the Rays tonight.

I wonder if people look deep enough that they may find there is some money on say.... the Rays in 6 and by hook or crook the series goes 6. Dick Jacobs back in the 90's once stated about the Indians... "MLB owners actually lose money on the playoffs and WS unless it goes more than 5."

Maybe it's time for fans to really look into these sports.

I'm sure someone will rip into me for this..... but seriously, when even the fucking announcers point this bullshit out and nothing is done..... it all makes one wonder.

And the problem is, that the wonder is there. Not if it the games are truly legit or not... but that the fans wonder if the are.

I speak of what I know, I'm sure other cities and teams have stories very similar to those going on in Cleveland sports right now.

And I won't even touch what is going on with college sports.
