There are several examples of the media going nuts over calls that they think should have been called. It often does not last that long in the sport of baseball because the situation takes place one day and there is a game the following day. I was also not talking about this board and the reaction here, I was talking about the reaction from the media and public. We are discussing this from a different angle here, but this was not discussed from the same angle on SportsCenter or every other sports talk show that I heard this being discussed.
