    First Base Umpire - Tim Timmons

    TIM TIMMONS.

    This douche above called the balk on Vasquez. It WAS NOT a balk.

    As fans and bettors, all we want is a FAIR game.

    If I was Bud Selig, I would fire him right away. Just cost me a lot of money.

    I'm still confused why a balk was called, too, but no one argued it or even asked for an explanation. I think maybe he didn't come to the set position before stepping off the rubber. Either way, I'll take it. As a bettor. I don't give a crap if the game is fair or not. I just want to win. If there is a screwjob and I'm on the right side, I'm happy. But I think this was the correct call.

    Funny thing about it, is that none of the umpires called a balk until Larry Bowa and Casey Blake starting jumping around and yelling like monkeys.

    I've seen the replay several times now and I've yet to see the balk.

    Whatever, the game's over and nothing can be done about it now. Bad beat for all Arizona backers.

    As a baseball fan, I hate seeing games end like that...

    He needs to get the firing line, he's not even close to the worst umpire. Angel Hernandez, Hirshbeck, CB Buckner, Joe West are all worse.

    See for yourselves, according to the MLB rulebook, that is NOT a balk.

    The Arizona manager said it was clearly the CORRECT call.

    "I saw what he did," Arizona manager A.J. Hinch said. "He flinched, both of his legs buckled, and he balked. It was pretty plain and simple to see, so I didn't talk to anybody."

    If I was the Arizona GM I would fire Hinch tonight for selling out his player and not having his back.

    That's bush league.
