Is Angel Hernandez the Worst MLB Umpire?


 Or does he merely detest the White Sox?

He messed up two calls at first base where our pitchers beat the Mariner base runner to the bag, one that was close and one that was blatantly wrong.

Bobby Jenks was there first, it was obvious, Ichiro was out. Octavio Dotel also beat a runner to the bag two innings earlier.. Neither of these bad calls cost us tonight, but they certainly made things tighter, the game for one and other things like Hawk's sphincter.

Another incident this season came on June 12th, with the White Sox visiting Milwaukee for some inter-league action. Scott Podsednik stole second base, popped up, was pushed off the bag by the tag and called out. This was so traumatic for Pods he completely forgot how to run the bases the rest of the season.

According to BuehrleMan on Aug 29, 2008 6:31 PM CDT on Game #134: WhiteSox (76-57) @ RedSox (77-56) Angel Hernandez had the strike zone jumping around on him.

 

I seem to also recall the faintest memory of a pure hatred for this man in 2008, drunkenly making a photochop of him hanging from a noose, but I cant remember the particulars and the picture was so bad I never published it (which you know is really bad if you've seen any of my other photo-shops I have shown here).

For some reason a search didnt turn anything up, but there had to be an incident that I am forgetting because I know that I hate this man, I think it is because of 2008, yet I dont know why. I want to say it was against the Twins but Im not sure. Could I have been so enraged I have completely blocked this memory all together? Was it the booze? Yes, probably the booze. However, I hate this man for a reason, and he further backed up my belief that he hates the White Sox today. Hopefully someone else also hates this guy and can remind me what started it all.

Screw you Angel Hernandez. How you got to work the all-star game and two World Series' I will never know.
