Bobby Valentine sat at his desk, legs crossed, slowly shaking his head after the game on Wednesday night. Moments before, Valentine watched his team lose 4-3 to the Royals in a game featuring a couple of close calls that may (or may not) have shifted the final score. "Guys battled their butts off," Valentine said. "That's all I know. F---ing umpire can't make a right call and get help to get it done. It's a damn shame is what it is."
