This year's playoffs of Major League Baseball has been riddled with an unusually high number of incorrect calls by the umpires. Fans have come to expect a certain amount of judgement calls by umps but expect that over the course of a game, things tend to even out. However, some calls have been so bad in favour of one team or another, it would take four or five calls the the other way to make up for it.

MLB officials are considering several measures to remedy the situation from expanding instant replay to using "robot eyes" to call balls and strikes. In anticipation of tonight's Game 2 between the Yankees and Phillies, Dogs & Jeans is adding our own suggestions:

• Ban texting and Twitter updates by in-game officials.
• Terminate the "Major League Baseball Needs Umpires!" recruitment drives at our nation's retirement homes.
• No more distracting bodypainted models on the infield!
• Electronic device in first base that shocks the umpire when the runner's foot touches it. That way the ump only has to stay awake long enough to watch the throw to first.
• ID umps before they take the field to make sure none of them are Pete Rose.
• More that three beers? Better sit this one out Blue.
• Allow the umps to call their wives to learn how they should have called it.
• If the ump gets the call wrong, release Serena Williams!
