Is it me or has MLB officiating got way worse?
Take tonights Angels - Rangers game. I never in my life have seen umpires gone off the deep end like tonight. So AJ "Run To First After Strike Three" Pierzynski gets to argue balls and strikes. Mike Sciosia attempts to argue a blown call - he's immediately thrown out of the game, and the dipshit umpire doesn't say a word! What the fuck!! 
That's just one example. This season has been full of blown calls and bad officiating. And the umpires don't get fined or punished.
