Doug Eddings: Not A Leopard (Or A Panther)
Via David Pinto, Doug Eddings changes his spots, kinda, and comes as close to an admission of guilt as you'll ever hear from a major league umpire:
The umpire who made the controversial dropped third strike call in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series said yesterday he "absolutely" made the right call, but admitted he was wrong in the manner in which he called it.Note to anyone going to tomorrow's ALCS Game 3: Eddings should be, if the rotation holds, the right field umpire. We will be attending Saturday's Game 4, which would put Eddings in left. Just about where we're gonna be sitting, section 313."I think I've got to change my mechanic a little," Doug Eddings said upon arriving at John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana, Calif. Eddings' raised, clenched fist for a strike call is similar to a traditional out call. "That's why I feel bad. I should have given a safe sign."
Eddings admitted he called a dropped third strike more emphatically earlier in the game.

Nice headline too, props to the Halosphere non-monkey Panter mascot.
