Wells was credited with the single. <BR/><BR/>It's too bad for Cleveland that the out was not recorded. Having that said, I was acually excited to see Buckner make such a blatent mistake. He blew the call. He knew he blew the call. The greatest part is that he realized immediately that he'd made a mistake.<BR/><BR/>To his credit, when Blake obviously disagreed, Buckner just ducked his head and listened to the rant. Finally Buckner had to eat crow. <BR/><BR/>The manager for Cleveland came out, chewed on CB for a while and then got the crew cheif involved. <BR/><BR/>It was obvious that they all agreed the ball was caught, but they could not change the call. <BR/><BR/>It's too bad that fans even know the name of an umpire. We only know them because they screw up. It seems most fans know CB all too well.Uncle Charlie Yakkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16219012947338536164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13271520.post-1157399868793758232006-09-04T13:57:00.000-06:002006-09-04T13:57:00.000-06:00The two previous pitches were in the exact same area (outside) and Buckner called them balls. He's inconsistent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13271520.post-1157392973806595062006-09-04T12:02:00.000-06:002006-09-04T12:02:00.000-06:00CB does it again. Today, watching a Toronto / Cleveland game CB made some inconsistant calls on balls and strikes. Casey Blake turns to him and says "thats not a strike". Instead of being professional about the situation, CB tears his make off and immediately turns to a raging maniac. Coaches and players come out to save Blake from the showers. <BR/><BR/>Luckily Blake stayed in the game, but it's just like CB to be out there causing problems. One way or another, he missed the call. The he has the gall to tear his mask off and yell at a player.Uncle Charlie Yakkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16219012947338536164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13271520.post-1151459925319734582006-06-27T19:58:00.000-06:002006-06-27T19:58:00.000-06:00Aside from him over-reacting which we've all seen, Buckner is about as blind as a bat and is an instigatorAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
