We all have our buttons, and this is one of mine. Why does MLB allow this? The coaches *have* to do those mid-game interviews, but MLB can't require the umpires to answer questions about the way the game was handled (or mishandled)? And don't give me any nonsense about them staying in the background and not having the focus on them. Ha...that's a laugh.Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01678705548275884344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-76631811239663000642011-06-05T08:38:44.432-07:002011-06-05T08:38:44.432-07:00Randazzo is beyond a bad joke as an umpire.

There's an analogy to certain police officers here - those who enforce the law believe the law does not apply to them. <br /><br />I agree with Abraham, it's a gutless response, and it shouldn't be available.laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.com
