The most vacuous postgame argument from last night’s Game 3 of the World Series might also be the most common — that “no umpire’s call should decide a World Series game.”

Why not? What if an umpire’s call is required on a play that decides the game? Who should make it? Should we, oh, I don’t know, call Pee-Wee Herman on the phone and say, hey, Pee-Wee, whaddya think? Safe or out?

What about a called third strike with two out in the bottom of the ninth? Isn’t that an umpire’s call also deciding a WS game? Isn’t that pretty much the same thing?

I have no stake in this — don’t care which team wins. As I read the rule, umpires Dana Demuth and Jim Joyce got the call absolutely right. Good for them.
