You know you had a bad night when you're the first player ever to fail that badly at the plate, and that's not why you're remembered for the game.

Several of the Yankees failed to show up Monday night. But, at least they were playing in the 5th game of the playoffs unlike the Bosux had already been "swept" away like yesterday's trash.

I was going to respond to the above but then I read your post script and decided against it.

Hi Chuck,

You wanted the White Sox and now the Bosox are out. The White Sox wanted the Yankees or Red Sox. Now they'll have their hands full with the Angels.

I don't like the Astro's however, In a seven game sereis you got to like Petit, Clemens and Oswalt.

I never said Boston would win the series. (Obviously, I hoped they would, but that wasn't the point of the post.) I only said that any of the other 3 AL teams would want the White Sox in the first round. That was b/c of Chicago's perceived weakness.

Even White Sox supporters have to admit that the Chicago didn't play spectacular baseball. But the Red Sox sure did stink up the joint. Pitching wasn't there, and the defense was completely on vacation.

Reggie Jackson was .....Mr. October.

The Chicago Cubs are....Misses October.

What's wrong with their however?

I don't usually get involved in baseball threads...but, why don't baseball umpires get together a little quicker when they have a dispute?

i.e. Game 2 White Sox vs. Angels Bottom of the 9th 2 out "controversy".

Come on, take a chance. Which end of the post script would you be on?

And what a bad call. Especially since there's absolutely no way that he could possibly see if it hit the ground or not.

I think I'll go with "tough call".
The catcher could have taken that close play out of the umpire's hands by tagging the runner or by going to first. Infielders do it more often when they catch a screamer in the dirt cleanly, but still make a play at a base to "finish" a batter/runner.

Well, it certainly was a tough call to make because there is no possible way that the umpire could've seen what he said happened!! He guessed! In the bottom of the 9th in a tie game of an LCS, he guessed! That bothers me just as much as missing the call.
