Conclusion: The umps call 90% of > calls correctly, and they do not lose ball games for clubs. I feel that the call at first in game 6 did more damage mentally to the Cardinals than anything. The Cards looked very demoralized the rest of the series. But don't get me wrong, I agree with you that umps do not loose ball games for clubs, I just haven't seen anything posted about this effect.
