I do! There was way to many bad calls by the umpires that went the Yankees way and should not of! I think the umpires were paid off to do this and they helped the Yankeess win the 2009 World Series! Before anyone says I doing this because I hate the Yankees is wrong! I'm a baseball fan and I smell something fishing going on! It has happen before! I hope MLB looks into this! It needs to be!

Bad calls went both ways in the series. But I have to agree it did appear that the Yankees benefited more from these calls. As for the series being fixed, I don't really think so. Now if it had gone to game 7 after the Yankees had been ahead in game 6 I might have a different opinion. I would then have to say that the almighty dollar had prevailed.

The series probaly weren't fixed but I agree the mighty dollar did prevailed! I just wish someday soon they get a salary cap in baseball and other teams have a better chance at the Series becides teams like the Yankees!

I did not watch the game or keep up with it this year. It would not suprise me one bit, that the whole game was rigged or fixed for the Yankees to win it. Everything seems to be political or corrupted these days.

It doesn seem everything is political and corrupt theses days! Thanks for the response! Happy Mylotting!

Opps sorry, I don't really follow sports, I thought this might be something to do with Panathianikos but I think it's basketball they are into rather than baseball but they might have a team in that as well. Anyway their football team is more famous. If you like football at all there is a special interest for Panathianaikos
but so far it just centeres around football but if they play this baseball to you could put a discussion in there.happy


myLot reputation of 92/100. blue65packer (6165)   ranked 1 out of 181 in baseball  3 years ago

I have no idea what you are taling about. I'm an NFL,MLB,AND NBA fan.


myLot reputation of 96/100. thea09 (5382)  3 years ago

It's sports over this side of the pond. Your abbreviations have lost me too.lol


myLot reputation of 90/100. linamachina (309)   ranked 22 out of 181 in baseball  3 years ago

Hi thea, the abbreviations are NFL - National Football League, MLB - Major League Baseball, NBA - National Basketball Association, all on this side of the pond. I never heard of Panathianikos though and I'm going to look it up to see what it is. I like sports too except I can't get into basketball too much.


myLot reputation of 96/100. thea09 (5382)  3 years ago

Hi lina, never heard of the world famous Panathianaikos, it's a world famous football team in Greece who wear green. That cover's my full football knowledge by the way. I did set up a special interest for it that has 50 signed up members and only two of them have a clue what a football team actually is. I had a long arguement running with AKuler as I thought the PAni team was the same as the Greek team but they aren't, the Greek team wear blue.


myLot reputation of 90/100. linamachina (309)   ranked 22 out of 181 in baseball  3 years ago

thea, is Greek football the same there as it is over here? I googled Panathianikos and Wiki says that the translation is Pan Hellenic Football, whose uniform is blue and based in Chicago. The Panathianikos is based in Athens and they wear green. That's as far as I got so far for the discrepency in color of uniforms. I will delve into this a little more and trot over to that interest to see what's playing.


myLot reputation of 96/100. thea09 (5382)  3 years ago

hi lina, well as I know nothing about football despite making an interest in it, I don't know if football your way is the same as over here, or even indeed how it is over here. I'm sure Akuler who was the spokesperson for anything that involved actual football with the interest said you have soccer over there which he despised as not being football. Everyone round here supports Panaithianaikos the football team who wear green, except for the apparently stupid people who support someone else who wear red.
If you do come across the interest which must be in my interests as I invented it, you will see one example of a most brilliant and interactive discussion in which I suckered a lot of people into the interest against their will.happy

I don't think it was fixed, it just had horrible umpires. Hopefully after some review, MLB will do something to change it for next year.


myLot reputation of 92/100. blue65packer (6165)   ranked 1 out of 181 in baseball  3 years ago

yes the umps were terrible! the worst I have since in a long time! I hope MLB looks into a change for next year also!

Hi blue65packer, I agree with all the bad calls that the umps made and even though I really wanted the Phillies to win, I don't think the games were fixed. But probably when the Phillies lost, that was the first thing I yelled (smile). As my significant other (who is a huge Green Bay Packers fan, by the way) says, umps are human and they will make mistakes...but come on really, that's quite a few to make. Maybe with enough of a fan outcry, they will change some of the rulings to allow replays before making the final decision.


myLot reputation of 90/100. linamachina (309)   ranked 22 out of 181 in baseball  3 years ago

Oops, I don't mean to say that I agree with all the bad calls, I meant to say I agree that there were many bad calls made. That makes more sense!


myLot reputation of 92/100. blue65packer (6165)   ranked 1 out of 181 in baseball  3 years ago

Thanks for the response! I hope the fans will cry out for change! Baseball sure needs it!

now for the record i am a yankees fan, however i think this year playoffs was the worst umpiring i have ever seen and it goes for all the games not just the ones involving the yankees. game 2 when the phillies got a double play on a ball that bounced tell me how that one went in our favor. i know our team spends the money more then anyone else does, however alot of the other teams get lots of money ever year from the yankees and they choose to put it in there pocket rather then to spend it on their team now how is that the fault of our team. we had a great team this year which had a great chemistry and they deserved to win and since we had not won in over 10 years lots of other teams have had the chance to win it in that time. i don't think it was fixed, but i do believe that the umpires no matter how many they have can not see everything and they should expand the instant replay to more then just fair or foul and fan interference calls.


myLot reputation of 92/100. blue65packer (6165)   ranked 1 out of 181 in baseball  3 years ago

This years baseballs playoffs where the worse I have ever seen! I mean with the umpires! With instant replay I don't know if should use more then detereme if a tey got a home run called right or not. Something has to get better with the umps or we'll probaly have a real bad call 2010 season! we will see!
