Umpjim: "Did I see the LFU signal foul then fair in top of the 2nd in the TX TB game?"
Yes, you did; I saw it, too (via TNT). It sure looked like he (Marv Hudson?) signaled "Time", then quickly pointed to fair territory. Thus, no controversy as the ball "kicked up chalk" (the announcer said).
I guess Hudson had a brainfart similar to what Ed Rapuano had up in Boston in August when he, Rapuano, initially pointed foul on a ball down the left field line, then quickly caught his brainfart and did an up/down jumping dance along the line pointing fair, thus correcting himself (then signalling the ball dead as it bounded into the stands for a ground rule double).
Phil Cuzzi didn't catch his miscue during last year's playoffs when he pointed an obvious fair ball FOUL.
Is it the nerves from upiring in a high stakes game???
