When you have the best 2 teams playing for the world championship, you have the best umps as well. It used to be that way, & the umps who were chosen considered it an honor.

Nowadays---probably at the behest of the umpires union?---they use a stupid rotation system & you don't always get the best umps. Given what's at stake, however, the best umps should be out there.

Sadly, there's been some bad umping in this postseason.
