I am sure he did look at the replay.....he should have some class and admit the umps got it right.

John F. said over and over that everyone "accepts" the neighborhood play, but that's not what this was, it was clear he never had the ball to transfer. Even the replay showed the ump looking at the bag assuming he was going to make the catch so you have to forgive him for missing the call.

Also interesting what Joe Torre said, how the umps have a little signal if they see something they will start toward the ump in question to let him know they had a better or different view and then he will call them in, if no one moves the ump in question doesn't call for help, it's not that they just rarely call for help it's that most of the time the other umps have nothing definitive to add. I thought that was kind of enlightening.

Crosses 14,290 people off the list of potentials, oh and Matt Damon so 14,291 :-)

Where are your seats Vin and color me jealous man! *knocks on wood*

No we'd know it was him because he'd be driving in World Series RBIs :-) *knocks on wood*

Leave your wood alone, Adam. You're gonna get blisters.

Roughly speaking this is our view, Adam -- we actually moved over one section closer to home plate this year but I don't have a pic. The only downside is the beer vendors aren't allowed to sell in our section. Apparently the seats aren't expensive enough ...

Have to say I do miss going to games at Fenway, never forget my first game, scalped bleacher tickets to opening day in '87 and saw Rocket pitch, when he was still just an amazing enhanced pitcher.

Place is going to be rockin tonight!

I know that guy!

Bullpen implosion..very uncharacteristic :-)

WHY is salty in this ****ing game, he hasn't hit at all during the post season, he had a bonehead error in game 2 that cost huge, he's calling a shitty game in game 3 and you have Ross sitting on the bench who is hitting .350 .... wow Farrell FAIL.

2-1 on Nava ... ball 5 inches outside a called strike now 2-2 .. ball to make it 3-2 .. (should have been the walk) next pitch strike out. I think i've heard "Kelly gets away with one" about 5 times so far, these calls are fricking brutal.

TWO strikes in a row called balls to the sox pitchers, games like this aren't even fun to watch, it's only amusing when McCarver says "and there's a strike" as it's called a ball then he says it was a bit low, then they show the track and it's "no that was a good pitch that didn't get the call". Ok I'm done.

Two in a row for shittlylamacia

Farrell..should be fired on the spot!!!
[Reply]

I never saw a more bonehead set of moves, you take out a guy who is hitting, you put in someone who hasn't hit ****, you move Xander from the position he's played all season and put middlebrooks at 3rd, your moves cost us Felix who was pitching great ball, Xander throws a bad one to first instead of drew being there, middlebrooks hasn't played in a month and a ball get's by him that is usually snagged, one bad move after enough and the entire time you leave that no hitting catcher in the game, who had an error that cost us last night and he has one that cost the game tonight, while on the bench you have Ross who's hitting .350 in teh post season... really just a bizarre string of moves, ****ing it looked like ME when I try play chess for christ sake.

Farrell is in over his head..interference could be called the other way it shows the guy pushing down on WMB?
