Safe or Out
When I was a kid I used to say things to my dad like, "I was safe." My dad would reply, "No you were out, I know so because I saw the umpire call you out." He was aware that umps can make mistakes, but he did not want me to ever blame someone else for the outcomes of games or reject authority just because I did not like their rulings in isolated cases. So on Monday night, Matt Holliday was safe at the plate in the game against the Padres. I know so cause I saw the umpire call him safe.
