Granted, he hasn't been a Yankee for long, but I don't think any of the Yankees could argue this with a straight face (like, the Chuck Knoblauch/phantom tag from the 1999 ALCS didn't go in their favor?). Part of being a really good team or player is that you get those weird little calls going in your favor a lot, like when they let Shaq use opposing centers as step ladders in the NBA. It was interference, undoubtedly -- sour grapes, much? (Oh, before someone accuses me of sour grapes, the Sox were completely outclassed in '99.)A-Rod said:"It was a big momentum changer,'' Rodriguez said. "I don't want those umpires to meet anymore because every time they meet, it goes against the Yankees.''

I'm not a huge sports fan, but even if the Red Sox end up losing at this point we've no longer embarrassed ourselves. It would be hard to live with a 0-4 sweep.
The intresting thing to note about that play, is if A-Rod stayed in the base path and ran into Arryo and knocked the ball loose, he would have been safe.Kajamba Lion said:It was interference, undoubtedly -- sour grapes, much?
