From what I heard them say about Mike Reilly going to the crew "immediately", it sounded like he lost it, knew he had to make a call, no matter what it was, and dealt with it with his crew. Obviously this is all 100% speculation, but was the ball that close to being foul? And did Reilly really go "immediately" to the crew for help, or did Jeter/Damon really have to talk him into it?

I didn't see it that way at all. He was actually showing why he was a good player, he knew the call was made, he knew there was nothing going to change it.
He made his point very clearly, he talked with both umpires involved and he returned to the dugout and kept barking even more after he saw the replay and knew it was a blown call.
I consider that a class act compared to a Pinella who who have acted a fool.
