Umpire Joe West Wins Defamation - Damages Future Card Show Earnings

[36GoudeyMan]

This self-promoting, incompetent, arrogant, condescending POS who cannot umpire a game without pretending its his personal coronation should NEVER be in the HOF, and thus his claim of lost opportunity value due to his otherwise justifiable HOF rejection is BS. No PR firm would ever be able to truly rehabilitate his rank incompetence. He and Angel Hernandez should not be allowed within 5 miles of an MLB game.

Careful, we know Joe can hear. Not sure if he can read. If he sees this...he might not like it.

Yeah, Joe West already ejected a GM (Mike Rizzo) from the second deck of the stadium during a game, so I guess he'd have no trouble ejecting a remotely-watching fan from his own home.

I can't figure out what would motivate Lo Duca to say that. It was so easily disproven and yet it's so specific and strange.

If Joe West goes in before Bruce Froemming...

Haven't you heard? Embellishment, Speculation, Tall Tales and outright lie mongering is the new truth without consequences.

You can easily walk it back by just saying I was being sarcastic, joking, or "telling it like it is (but not really)"

Joe West might be a POS, but two POS's don't cancel each other out and become a shiny diamond.

Lo Duca has never been known for his good judgement:

True. Wonder if Billy Wagner will follow Joe's lead. This incident might be keeping him out of the HOF too.

So.....If, after a few years, West isn't elected to the HOF, does he sue the election committee for keeping him out of his "rightful" place in it?

I say "rightful" place from his perspective, as he seems to think he truly belongs there.

As for me, he should never get within 100 miles of Cooperstown!
