Sports

The Braves recent problems with umpire Bill Hohn remind me of something i saw in Florida. There was an umpire -- John Shulock I believe -- calling a Devil Rays game.
He was pretty obviously squeezing Rays pitcher Wilson Alvarez and they had a history of problems.
Finally, the pitcher fired a high fastball, real high, and the catcher was "unable" to get his glove up in time to get it.
Bam! Right in the masked chops.
Shulock goes down! Shulock goes down!
It was really ugly and obviously intentional and great fun, especially considering how at the time the Rays were the worst frikin' team in MLB.
The Hohn thing is serious. Atlanta is going to need every win to make the playoffs and this jibroney's actions could cost them the post season if they have to play another games(s) with im behind the plate.
