woohoo, go white sox!

[Crothian]

wow...that was wrong. Oh well, human error has always been part of the game.

What a way to "win" a game. And we might have won anyway. At best, a * in the record books.

Ok, ESPN said that there was an error by Player Player in the gamecast. What happened? (I'm at work with no access to radio or TV)

 

[Crothian]

you mean in the white sox Angels game? bottom of the nioneth 2 outs, no one on, tied game, third strike called but umpire thinks the ball hit the ground, angels players think its going to extra innings but white sox guy runs to first and is called safe. reply looks like it never hit the ground and the Umpires motions makes people think he called the batter out but he didn';t. ESPN shows the umpires motions through the game and they are always consistant just different from others. Umpire made a mistake, but the catcher ran off the field to fast and riolled the ball that was still live to the mound.

 

[Bront]

So, basicly, umpire made a mistake, and the Angels didn't finish it out and assumed the play was over. Cheap way to win a game, but you need to make the most of every opertunity. Definately an interesting game.

Eddings the ump and Macredy the crew chief really screwed the pooch, both on the field and in the post-game interview.

Compare this call to the reviews made in the ALCS last year, where the whole crew got together and made sure the call was right.

It's a really hollow feeling to see the course of a game altered by a blown call - there's not much satisfaction in a win, and it really sucks for the loss.

 

[Crothian]

That's what it seems. With the travel day in that series tommorrow I'm sure it will get talked about on various talk radio, sports news show s only a billion times.

What did they say in the post game interview that was so bad?

 

[Bront]

Ok, just saw the play, and while it's not caught, it's close enough to where I can understand the confusion by the Ump (One guy here still swears it did bounce after seeing the replay). Unfortunately, these things happen (Ask Pittsburgh about the Thanksgiving day coinflip issue)

(Ask Pittsburgh about the Thanksgiving day coinflip issue)

We are still upset about that one....and it wasn't in such a meaningful game
