I caught a portion of a replay of the Sox game from last night, but did I see a vague resemblance to the famous 1972 USA/USSR basketball game?
Apparently Crisp flew out to end the game with a runner on. But, wait! We can't have that, not in Beantown! An umpire had ruled a balk on the Toronto pitcher, and the last out doesn't really happen! (Insert obligitory Toronto manager ejection here.) Then, Crisp singles to keep the game alive! The tying run indeed comes to the plate! Can Boston score that "layup" to win after the "do-over"?!
Nope. Last is out is made, and the Toronto shutout is preserved. (Must not have had any Soviet-born umpires out there.)
(Ok, so it's Friday, and I need a weekend real bad.)
