I'll keep this short, since I've never been one to dwell on the reasons for a loss for too long.

There were two things I distinctly didn't care for in last night's game.

One, the weird strikezone:

The pitch on the left is a called strike that hit the corner of the plate. Good pitch. The pitch on the right is a called strike that missed my about a foot and a half outside. What the hell?

The second thing that I didn't care for in the least was Jay Witasick's continued inability to do his job any better than that lady down at the DMV who gave my aunt's blind friend a driver's license.

That is not where you want to miss on a hanging slider to Vlad Guerrero with two runners on base. Here's a doctored image of where you want to miss with Vlad:

That should be just outside his strike zone...
