This blog article came from one of my podcast partners, Steve. I'll summarize his thoughts on Joe West.
Joe West was umpiring the Chicago White Sox game earlier this week. He didn't like Mark Buerhle's move to first & called a balk. He called a second balk as well. When Buerhle dropped his glove West tossed him from the game. The Ozzie Guillen got tossed as well.
This is the same Joe West that complained about the length of Red Sox-Yankees games. Before the game last night he did not retract any of his comments & said a lot of people agree with him.
Steve's point is that Joe West is like the people on reality shows. They have to be in the spotlight. He likes the hype. Instead of leaving the game to the players, West is a guy that needs the attention.
I agree Steve. Maybe it's time for Joe West to retire & go on Survivor or Big Brother.
