A couple of thoughts:

If you've seen the play, its kind of rediculous. I don't know how Angel missed it.

But I've missed some too I bet, so therefore...

I don't think its a big deal when a team feels they got the short end of the stick. In any game there are close calls, and invariably one team will end up getting most of them at least in some games. And it can be VERY frustrating for that team.

I'm not blasting Angel here, I'm just sypathisizing with the Pirates. They've lost so many games this year, and they must feel as though the world is against them. They lost this game in part to the umpiring.

All that being said, stuff like this should not be bled to the media. It looks very bad for those who are involved, both umpire and players/coaches. And it disgraces the game that these guys make millions off of.

I can understand why they are upset, its an emotional game. Angel made a mistake, but we all miss some, even those that seem to be obvious. Its a part of the game, unfortunately.

But in the end, as somebody said before, "WAAA WAAA SOMEBODY CALL THE WAMBULANCE"
