I can tell you it will not be Demuth's crew as the Cubs got him last week in Houston and there must be at least three series in between getting a crew again. Plus they were in LA last series and they usually don't send crews through 2 different time zones in one day. if you are traveling through different time zone you will almost always have a day in between to re cooperate.Russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00077541258320019256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-12956322261722046992012-09-17T15:58:02.612-07:002012-09-17T15:58:02.612-07:00@ DD4D

It still has west behind the plate at wrigley tonight, but unless cowboy joe hurries he won't make it in time. <br /><br />I say Eddings has the plate tonight in Chicago, because I think that DeMuth's crew has only been to Wrigley one other time this year, Opening Day against the Nationals, I could be wrong.

However, there is always a bottom 10% or so of a group of workers (in any industry). Knight needs to work his way out of that (like Tichenor did - and now in my opinion Tichenor is one of the better umpires in MLB). <br /><br />Plus, last month's REFEREE magazine had an article or picture about charity work and it featured Wally Bell and Brian Knight, among others. I give him points for that alone.

" <br /><br />LOL, I wonder if he still thinks that was a catch in the Yankee game? (Wasn't it this guy?) <br /><br />To be honest, the first one looks like it could have gone either way. The second one it looks like he is out. And trust me, I am confident that Fielder knows that as well (hence his reaction).
