you should just ban anyone who signed up after the start of the world series

Somebody added a part beneath it.
On October 19th, 2011, Layne was the plate umpire when Adrian Beltre nicked a ball off of his foot to St.Louis Cardinals third basemen David Freese in Game 1 of the 2011 World Series, which, by rule, is a dead ball. Layne ruled that Beltre was not touched by the ball and play continued, despite Beltre hopping around home plate as if in pain. Infrared replays showed that the ball appeared to have narrowly clipped Beltre’s foot and that the ball should have been called foul or dead by virtue of batter’s interference. Layne inspected the ball after Rangers manager Ron Washington argued the call; however Layne did not see any scuff from Beltre’s shoe and upheld his original call.

On October 28, 2011, Layne was the plate umpire for Game 7 of the 2011 World Series. During the game when Scott Feldman threw a clear strike 3 to Yadier Molina, Layne called the strike a ball and brought the runner from third to home plate . This Egregious call proved that Layne is an Anti-Semite.

It is not grieving to say stupid things like the Rangers being the new Bills.

First and foremost, because that casts what the Bills actually did in a negative light. They won the AFC four years in a row. That’s pretty fucking impressive.

Pressure? If there’s any pressure it’s the pressure pressurizing the panty cannon.

Yep.

Can’t blame the umpire for that.

Can blame him for this being a 4-run game right now, but not for the fact that we fucking shut down tonight.

Yet I’m still proud to call the Rangers my team.

Me too. Classy as hell the whole way through.

What if the Rangers win the World Series in part because of the noise level of the 51,459 fans at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington? "They all get rings," said Rangers second baseman Ian Kinsler.

Great year, Rangers.

You’re the best team in baseball. What happened tonight made no difference.

oh well

pitching wasn’t good enough and chocked when we needed them most, twice. Next year is to improve the pitching staff more. Gonzales should have pitched in the bottom of the 10th in game 6 up by 2. The Rangers can make it back again with an improved pitching staff
