1. C.B. Bucknor (I still gotta go with him...all his horrible calls
still are vivid in mind)

2. "Cowboy" Joe West (I dont know if he seeks attention for his
musical career..or is he just a really bad ump?)

3. Angel Hernandez (He's been horrible for a long time too)

**Extra note - I didn't add Joyce for his perfect game miscall,
because he's been a pretty decent ump in my mind for his tenure (much
better then the other 3 I listed, in my mind).

Thing is, Jim Joyce took it like a man and stood up the same way. I feel
badly for him as I do for Galarraga. Joyce knew he blew it and feels
terrible about it.

Buckner and Hernandez, well, that's a different story. CB Buckner should not
be an MLB umpire.

and Jim Joyce has a pretty decent umpire reputation around MLB. I
agree with Bucknor's assessment(he should be sent too the
International league!). But unfortunately the umpires union is there
too stop any firing of inadequate or below average umpires.

When Angel Hernandez is behind the plate he is the pits!
