Perry Costello

[yraciv]

If you missed it, he is the 1st base ump. What did we do to the baseball gods to have him show up in Omaha?

[Hawgey-Davidson]

Better question, how did he get assigned to work the CWS? Shouldnt be allowed to work little league.

[Knot2brite]

The question is exactly who in the ncaa does he have naked photos of with a goat

Maybe he is the goat

[Dr. Starcs]

I'm betting he will be behind home plate Monday. Smh

I turned to my family and said we were doomed whenever they announced Costello was on first.  He didn't play a role in our game today...but my kids said it was probably a good thing I couldn't go to Omaha today....since he was one of the umpires.  After the Arizona State and South Carolina games...he shouldn't be allowed to participate in any of our games......ever.....

If I am DVH and JL, I might make a friendly call to someone at the NCAA office and remind them of his screw jobs before and ask that the crew not be assigned to our game.  If they dont,  the first time and I mean first time, he misses calls or has his floating strike zone, DVH ought to go out and go off on him and get his moneys worth

Absolutely....

If the rotation is kept Costello should be behind the plate tonight for Florida...

I don't think that's him back there - ump has blonde hair

[onebadrubi]

I don't think that's him back there - ump has blonde hair

I'm betting they are using two crews and each crew is doing 1 game a day, but I may be wrong

[BroyledNutts]

I don't think that's him back there - ump has blonde hair

No it isn't...it's Stevens, if I heard the announcers right - must be saving Mr. P for LSU...he loves him some LSU...

[GatorHog]

When they switch to Costello's ump cam, it will look like Walleye vision from Hot Shots

[razCzar]

Bo Bigham's day didn't get off to a ringing start either, with this 2nd inning ring-up from home plate umpire Perry Costello.

[razCzar]

[ROBLYNNM]

He had a tiny mustache in today's game....gag....puke....spit....

[rhog1]

I dislike him more than any other official in any sport. The Arizona State game was the biggest highway robbery I have ever seen.  Follow that up with the robbery against South Carolina. If he is behind home plate Monday we might as well give it up he will not let us win.

First pitch from whomever we throw needs to be about 146mph FB to the frontal lobe or the esophagus.

I am all in for a wild pitch....

[RayburnRed]

If that's Costello behind the plates in the Florida game I wouldn't be surprised.  I just tuned in 30 minutes ago but he's been anything but consistent.

Just need a "miscommunication" between the pitcher and chatcher. Catcher jumps up for a pitch out, pitcher throws a heater right down the middle.

One guy ahead of him for me. The NBA ref Joey Crawford.

[soooieman]

He and Marc Curles would be a great couple.

Thank you!!!  Finally someone sees it like
Me!  Crawford is on a payroll or just the biggest *** idiot out there

No doubt. 2006 Finals. Crawford and Costello the biggest screw jobs in my sports fandom.

I remember him tossing Tim Duncan for laughing.

The rest of that story is even better, look into it.  You're on the tip of the ice.  He laughed for what the dumby Crawford said to him

There is just something wrong with a 60 year old 5' something old white many asking a 7' professional basketball player that along with a racial slur I bekieve

[Sue E NoNutts]

Looks like he is behind the plate for the Vandy-CSF game tonight.

[Cracker Jack]

I wonder who he has chosen to screw over tonight?  That guy just needs to go away!

[ROBLYNNM]

At least we probably won't have him behind the plate for our game tomorrow!

I didn't hear the slur part.  I thought he called him a SOB after challenging him.  I thought Duncan was priceless.  ". We can do that if he wants."  HAHAHAHAHA

one imagines a 60 year old Bruce Lee or a 60 year old Chuck Norris being able to make short work of ANY 7' basketball player...."sweep the leg, Bruce, sweep the leg!"

Yes, Joey Crawford, Bruce Lee, and Chuck norris belong in the same sentence.  Not even good sarcasm

[Razorback7281]

Classic Perry Costello in the Vandy game. Swanson asks for time at the plate 4 or 5 times before the pitcher started his wind up. Costello ignores it doesn't give him time then calls a strike on a pitch that was a ball.

Actually, K zone showed it as a strike.

Umps/refs again wanting to be part of the game, it makes them feel special.

just rewound it, it was outside.

you are the type of guy who would slam on the brakes, turn around on a two lane highway in the middle of the night just because you missed running over that garter snake crossing the road just so you can finish the job

ad: a lot like Perry Costello

[TikiHog]

I actually thought he had a good game tonight

[yraciv]

I missed the game, but I'm not sure that is possible.  Of course it's pretty easy to call strikes when you have 2 of the best pitchers in the nation.  Most of his atrocious calls come late in  games anyways, so I guess it is possible he was adequate since they didn't make it through the 6th inning.

[Pig Papi]

Nobody tried to steal 2nd yet.  No chance to show his knowledge on batter interference.

[BroyledNutts]

He was having a good game last night...I wonder how much the new ump cam plays in to that..

PC's a West Coast guy if I'm not mistaken, and Vandy is the media darlings this year, so maybe there was nothing on the field for him to dislike.

[Razorback_Mack]

+1

[ROBLYNNM]

Called batter interference not once...but twice...against Eibner.  Never will forget those calls.....

[Rocket23]

Costello is from Michigan. 

[Dr. Starcs]

Good ole perry behind home plate for game 1 of the finals. Somebody's getting screwed.

[bulldog04]

Will Coleman don't be showing up Costello or he will put the screws to you
