the umpire should immediately be questioned by the FBI after the game. His two blown calls at 1st base against KC mean he's either got a MONSTER wager on B-more or he's the worst umpire in the history of the game.
If that's the case I'm quite sure he needs BAL to win for one reason or another......Umps, refs, etc. all have a say in the outcome of any sport. They have much more control than we all think......
