We all kick calls every now and then. It is called being human. I am sure that was not the first call he missed and certainly will not be the last either.

Peace

And nobody will feel worse than him either when he finds out that he missed it.

YAAAAWWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNN!

So what! Gerry Davis kicked a call and the Yankees (because they didn't bother to get a few insurance runs) lost the game! All is right with the world and Gerry will move to 1st base tonight.

All Yankee fans do is whine - it's always someone else's fault! BWAHAHAHAHA!

You know, it wasn't even that he blew the call. I can live with that, we all miss one every now and then. I was more surprised by the severity of the miss. The runner was a good 3 feet from the bag. I'm not exaggerating to make a point, it was easily three feet.

Getting a banger wrong is understandable. Getting a play wrong when something weird or third worldish happens, that I get. But a MLB umpire getting a simple steal of second wrong when a runner is out by 3 FEET, I'm just flabbergasted. That just shouldn't happen. That is not a miss, that is a gross miss. And it happened because on that one play, Gerry was lazy.

You guys talk about hustling on every play and working hard to be in the right spots, coming set and adjusting if necessary to see the play. This is why umpires have to work hard on each and every play to get the call right. If you don't, you can make a call like that. That play drives home that point with stunning clarity.

For the record, I'm not complaining. The Yankees certainly weren't helped by the call, but they lost it all on their own. No whining here...

It couldn't have happened to a better team, unless it was the Red Sox...

Yep! I agree! And why miss a chance to kick a dog when he's down?

Go O's and Sox!
