i'm not a red sox fan. I don't like the red sox, nor the rays, i have no rooting interest in this game.
That said, that has to be the worst called third strike i've ever seen in that sort of situation. That was at least 6 inches off the plate. One more reason i'll take football over baseball; even on their worst day, a football referee can't affect a game as much as the home plate umpire.
I know it stings now, but I'm rooting for the Rays 1,000 percent. **** the Phillies! Keep the curse alive.
your joking, right?
Joking about what? The call, or not being a fan of either team?
It was a bad call. One that was the second out of the ninth inning. Taking football over baseball because a referee can't effect a game as much as an umpire is not only f'ked up reasoning, but is also false. This coming from a die-hard Red Sox fan who has seen many, many home plate umpires skrew the Sox out of many titles. But to say that a football referee isn't just as capable of throwing a game is dead wrong. Just ask Sugar Ray Hamilton.
I am so happy the Pats are playing Monday night now, need to get this loss out of my system.
The difference is, even on the worst day for a Football referee, he'll botch two or three of those calls badly, and that's a rare occurrence. Can they turn a game? Sure. Not the same way the home plate umpire can basically destroy the flow of a game by calling an inconsistent game, squeezing pitchers or giving guys pitches 4 to 6" off the plate. It's like if there was a judgment call involved every time the ball was snapped in Football, which just isn't the case. I'll take Football over Baseball for a hell of a lot of other reasons though.
