I have little vested interest when I despise both teams and just want the Cardinals to win because they are the lesser of two evils. But then I'll have to put up with obnoxious Cardinals fans during the year. Zero sum game indeed. | ||

Guess that evens the "karma" though You can say yesterday was whacky, since I don't remember seeing any game ending that way, but if you think that retiring one more batter to end the game vs catching a base steal is a huge difference - sure, it's "whacky". Cardinals got SLAPPED across that fat face, plain and simple. 2-2 baby, no obstruction call this time to buy you a win | ||

I even saw a called strikeout that went over the outer line of the opposite batting box. Before I was a baseball fan this was my biggest qualm with the sport. That the home plate ump can just call whatever he feels like calling when it's on the line. Actually he can call whatever he wants even if it's wrong, and then throw people out of the game when they run out of the dugout to come spit in his face. Seriously, get some better umps, I'd hate to see the final at-bat of game 7 be a called strikeout that was clearly a ball. | ||

"well fuck that was a stupid ending" | ||

On the bright side Jim Joyce is next, and is probably the best umpire in baseball. | ||

You don't presume in the majors, boy. He got what was coming, just like Ellsbury vs Tigers. Same spot, same outcome. | ||

Same spot, same outcome. So it went over the plate? I didn't see that then, and I don't see it now when I watch the slow motion replay over and over. It's clearly over the batting box line as it passes the plane of the plate. | ||
