Umpires, they're not having the greatest week. Days after totally blowing a game-ending third-strike call against the Tampa Bay Rays, another set of umpires caused a 15-minute delay in Wednesday's Washington Nationals/Chicago White Sox game because they were stuck in traffic.
Seriously.
Today's Nats-White Sox game is delayed, 7:20 p.m. start, because the umps were delayed in traffic and got a late start, per team spokesman.

Imagine the next manager who tries to chew these umps out. "At least I can get to the game on time." Even funnier is that this comes a day after Washington Nationals outfielder Denard Span complained about traffic in D.C.
Tweeting as I'm in traffic hoping to get pulled over so that I can get to the field quicker #omg — Denard Span (@thisisdspan) April 9, 2013
See, he's right. Let's not forget: this spring Zack Greinke said he considered helicoptering to games at Dodger Stadium because of traffic.
Obviously we know what should happen now. Bud Selig needs to buy everybody helicopters.
Baseball is back. Don't miss anything.
