Very WRONG the ump.

Pierzynski had already 2 strikes on... then FULLY swings... and misses the ball. That's strike 3, strikeout!

i am totally unbiassed and i have to say that was a terrible call! the game should be over! the angels should have won. and all we will hear about for the next week is -- did it hit the ground?

That would be all good if the game wasnt tied 1-1 at the time. Im not an expert but i dont think that wouldve meant an Angels win. :P Anyway on regards to the call, i thought it was probably a bad call but i really have to take a closer look at it to be sure. Either way, thats baseball, human error is a big part of what makes the game what it is

What a ridiculous ending. The ump even made the hand signal for the 3rd out. Even though I am an Angels fan, that was a terrible call. I'm bitter now. :cursing: I need some Count Chocula to heal my wounds. At least the Cards won. It's so nice having both favorite teams still in the race.

I'm as unbiased as they come (I dislike both teams) and I'm an umpire myself.

Very rarely will you hear me say what I'm about to say.

The Home plate umpire made a mistake, a big one mistake.

Doug Eddings made a K call (fist in the air) and allowed the play to continue. Nohing wrong with that. In fact, he followed protocol.

What I can't understand is why he reversed his original call during the play and did not seek help from another umpire. I think Pierzynski convince him that the ball hit the dirt and he was too stubborn to reverse his call twice. Umpires wjo have been in the game a long time frequently get that way. The develop bad habits in their mechanincs and rarely change their calls because it make them and their crew look bad.

Fellas! You gotta make the call right no matter how silly you look.That's the bottom line.

The fact that Chicago went on to score the winning run as a result of the original play makes this look very bad for his crew.

It'll be interesting to see how the remainder of theseries plays as the same crew will do all games up to game 7.

i think i know what the umps were saying when they briefly talked

head ump: i think he caught it

3rd base ump: ya, he probably did, but ozzy let me use his team jacket last night when i was freezing cold.

head ump: get it together, man!

3rd base ump: he let you drink from his gatorade!

head ump: guess youre right, give the sox the call, maybe we can sturr a little contraversy.

I just hate the Angels.

It was an awful call, and i'm suprised not a single ump corrected mr Home Plate, but... dem's da breaks.

Wasn't their an old poem "Kill the Ump!" Seems not much has changed in 85 years, other than the TV coverage.
