The ESPN write up. I hope it really didn't happen in the order described:
"With Dunn up and facing a 1-0 count, Pierzynski [the runner on third at the time] noticed Crow's front shoulder move after he saw it, Pierzynski alerted the umpires and that prompted the players in the White Sox's dugout to jump up and plate Ed Rapuano then called a balk, giving Chicago the win."
Ned Yost said after the game Rapuano told him he saw Crow's shoulder turn, so apparently the hip twitch/flinch had nothing to do with it. That makes it even more confusing as to why it was called.
