Look, I'm the first one to sing-song "You're a fucking asshole, Joe West..." at the Cowboy Umpire.
Saying he takes bribes when the evidence indicates otherwise, and Joe West does the RIGHT THING and sues your ass, Paul LoDuca.
With thanks to my anomymous friend for pointing this one out, Deadspin reports today that Paul LoDuca spouted off this spring at (WHERE ELSE???) Barstool Sports, where LoDuca guested on a podcast, that, while LoDuca was on the Mets in 2006 or 2007, Billy Wagner came in to close out a game with the Phillies, and told LoDuca to set up off the plate inside, where West would call strikes for Wagner.
The claim is that West did in exchange for money from Wagner...
You better have something more than that if you want to basically state that one of the most famous umpires in the game was on the take for you!
Especially because NO ONE can find the games in question -- because they probably didn't exist!!!
Unspecified damages, stay tuned on this one!!!
