“Red Sox manager John Farrell contested the call, but it appeared to be the correct one. Regardless of intent, Middlebrooks clearly got in Craig’s way as he tried to run home. It’s not the way the Cardinals drew it up, certainly, but the rules are the rules.”
And that says it all.
Stay safe and be happy!!

I didn't see the game, but did enjoy reading the clipping in the link you provided. What a disappointment. Sorry your team didn't win. Don't you just hate games like that! Sometimes it just isn't fair.
ReplyDeleteOh but my team did win Mary!! The Cardinals!!
DeleteWhat can I say? That was a most unusual way to win or lose a game. If the Sox lose the series, this will go down in Boston sports mythology along with the ball rolling through Bill Buckner's legs in the '86 World Series and the "too many men on the ice" call when the Bruins were going for the Stanley Cup. I'm sure there's one for the Boston Celtics but I can't think of it now. The Sox have come back all year long so don't count them out. They did tie the game up in the late innings.
ReplyDeleteOne thing about baseball, it sure can be filled with a lot of drama.
Beth, I luv ya, but what else can I say, Go Sox!"
Oh Paul. I luv ya too! I was just telling my son in law today that the best thing we had going right then was an umpire in St; Louis! I think if it had happened at Fenway that he would have been called out! May the luckiest team win.
DeleteI saw it and can honestly say I've never seen anything like it before. I'm so happy your team won. Oh yeah, since my Braves lost I'm rooting for your Cardinals.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy for you and I hope you have a great week, too!
ReplyDeleteI'm a football girl. :-) I love the "Don't drink and fly" sign.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen that happen before either, Beth! We are presently watching tonight's game. Cardinals lead 1-0. xo Nellie
ReplyDeleteWasn't that just crazy?! lol... I like games that have unexpected twists like that!
ReplyDeleteI saw it on the news and I could not believe what I saw. May the best team win!
ReplyDeleteIt made me think of small kids playing instead of professionals. I guess you are suppose to try to win any way that you can, but it doesn't set good examples. We teach little ones not to be in the base line and look what happens. Chiefs 8-0 who would believe that after last year. Come on Cardinals! We want you to win. Have a great day. Hugs and Prayers Your Missouri Friend.
ReplyDeleteI've been watching the games with hubby while we been visiting NC. Cardinals are doing great!
ReplyDeletehope all is well with you. :)
Glad your team won Beth Hug B
ReplyDeleteGot to say Sis I did not see the game but heard all about it on the news. WOW that was really an exciting finish. Glad your team won it. Hope they win the whole series. :-) XOXO hugs and prayers always
