hi guys,
just got home after partying @ bar watchg gm, eating...
and we have ANOTHER BAD call by the umpires...
did it affect the outcome of the game? NO... Yanks won anyway...
but,
did it possibly affect the betting aspect of the game? YES
instead of bases loaded and 1 out... its 3 outs, inning over...
1) 1st base ump could not possibly see whether Howard caught the ball or short-hopped it (being positioned behind the play)...
YET.... He immediately signaled "OUT" ... why?
he should have made a signal to indicate he could not see the play... wait til the action stopped.. then sorted it out w/the others..
2) Posada saw it was not caught... Howard knew it was not caught... the batter knew... the pitcher knew... the catcher knew...and probably the home plate ump and maybe the 3rd base ump...
He also missed the double play call against the Phils early in the game when rollins beat out the dp....
I'm sorry... these guys missed more callis in the last 3 wks than I can believe possible...
baseball should be embarrased.... and those umpires should keep their heads in the game!!
at least during the world series... c'mon mannn!
