Not sure you ever heard the answer, but the ruling was "running lane interference," as the batter-runner did not have both feet within the running lane to first base and subsequently interfered with the first baseman's opportunity to make the play. The ball is dead, the runner is out, and other runners (if any) return if the interference is not the third out (as I think it was in this play).

Rule 6.05(k)

BTW, Shelley Duncan?

Looked like Mariano and Dice-K were equally bad yesterday.

Mets scored 5 in the first, 5 in the ninth and nothing in between. First time any team's done that in 50 years.

Which brings up today's news in the wonderful world of beisbol......

MLB is thinking of sending both Seattle and the BoSox to Tokyo to open the 2008 AL season. Great idea (as long as they don't bring 'em back).

Thanks Dan!! And Offerman may have been on the Mariner roster for a while, but he acts like a RedSox!
