August 14, 200323 yr That's right! The Wolfman's bro called the balls and strikes in the Dontrelle game and has been at all the other umpiring positions in this series. That is rediculous, can anybody say conflict of interest? :banghead
August 14, 200323 yr Author This is from Wolf's Official Bio on the Phils web site (old from 2002) Brother, Jim, is a triple-A umpire See for yourself! http://philadelphia.phillies.mlb.com/NASAp...playerid=150116
August 14, 200323 yr Author you are making it bigger than it is.... :blink: You don't think it is big that the brother of one of the big players for a rival team in a wildcard race is calling 4 games of the rival team! He has already made several bad calls. today's bad call was Ricky safe at first, remember that because of that Ricky stayed on base on went on to score a run (only run of that inning for the Dodgers).

Don't forget the Burnitz call in which he claimed Lee didn't have his foot on the bag. Burnitz later went on to score.
August 14, 200323 yr BUT THERE IS NO REASON WHY A AAA UMPIRE SHOULD BE CALLING A PLAYOFF RACE TEAM'S GAME! ESPECIALLY THE BROTHER OF A RIVAL'S PITCHER! Actually he was called up awhile ago, that bio was from 2002. I remember him doing A Phils game in Ana before the break.
August 14, 200323 yr Author sorry, i dont think he is doing it purposely.... Another thing... He is a AAA umpire, why did MLB call him up? Why not another ump? As for Ramp, He has to either: a) be doing it on purpose b) be a very bad umpire BUT THERE IS NO REASON WHY A AAA UMPIRE SHOULD BE CALLING A PLAYOFF RACE TEAM'S GAME! ESPECIALLY THE BROTHER OF A RIVAL'S PITCHER!
August 14, 200323 yr THis is total BS. Cape, Almonte never got his six game suspension and The Red Sox's first game of the series never got over turned because of Henry's money. TO say that an MLB Umpire is in the pocket is stupid. Plus do you really think he became an ump just to screw over THe Phils rivals?

Odds are against it but I can see him giving the close calls to the other team. I can also see the Wolf brothers at some bar or at home drinking some beers and laughing this one off.
August 14, 200323 yr Another thing... He is a AAA umpire, why did MLB call him up? Why not another ump? As for Ramp, He has to either: a) be doing it on purpose b) be a very bad umpire BUT THERE IS NO REASON WHY A AAA UMPIRE SHOULD BE CALLING A PLAYOFF RACE TEAM'S GAME! ESPECIALLY THE BROTHER OF A RIVAL'S PITCHER! Well im trying to say that along time ago but they keep on thinking im stupid,u are right cape.
August 14, 200323 yr Author The guy has made many bad calls and it is suspicious. Rune, there is no reason an umpire THAT bad according to Ramp's theory or an ump with a conflict of interest should be calling MLB games. There is no excuse.
August 14, 200323 yr Author Rune, He is AAA umpire that is called up for vacations, illness, etc as needed and then is sent back down. Look at the MLB.com Umpire Roster and you will not find him, but the AAA roster has him listed and proudly saying that he is Randy Wolf's brother.

OMG, The Whole world is out to get The Fish that is why they are now leading of SC broadcasts. Remember when people said ESPN was trying to screw The FIsh?
August 14, 200323 yr they were close plays Cape.... give the guy a break We have been giving the umps a break this whole damn series. We could have been easily swept because of their poor calls.
August 14, 200323 yr Author they were close plays Cape.... give the guy a break I won't give him a break. He is supposed to take the job seriously. If there was any doubt (which there were) he should have confered with the other umps.

Look at the MLB.com Umpire Roster and you will not find him, but the AAA roster has him listed and proudly saying that he is Randy Wolf's brother. This coming from the guy who said The Sox game was going to be over turned, right? Can you ever stop looking at excuses? Wolf made s***ty calls from what I hear and The Fish didn't do anything after those calls. That's what most normal people will think. THe People always looking for conspiracy theories will think, The Phillies, A team with a limited pay roll thanks to a few off season moves has paid Wolf's way into the league to screw The Fish over. Also if your theory is right, then why was he called up when The Fish were a cellar dwellar? Rune, I didn't say they paid him off. Go read the posts. THEY ARE BROTHERS! SIBLINGS, HERMANOS, COME FROM THE SAME MOTHER AND FATHER! NO NEED FOR MONEY. It is not an excuse Rune, we lost today. But we still have the wildcard lead for now. Pressure is on the Phils to beat the Brew-hahas.
