CB Buckner has been about the worst umpire in either league for a long time. How he could miss to obvious ppays like that is beyond comprehension. Suprised me that Francona didn't argue more on the second one.

If I were Yuklis I might be tempted to double check with Buckner on every play, like, "you sure?" Of course, that would get him run.

Why this clown, or Bob Davidson who was working today’s game, were chosen for the playoffs is beyond me.

True. Why the heck does he get postseason gigs? Seniority? I thought umps had to meet performance standards before getting postseason assignments, and that they were constantly evaluated? CB is completely incompetent.

Thankfully the lousy call on Youk's jumping catch didn't translate into any runs.
