    This is pretty funny. People yelled at me saying I was nothing but a sore loser when I complained how the Yankees got nothing but BS calls on Balls & Strikes while the Tigers got everything. But now that it's happening to another team, the umps are bad. But for the Yankees, nothing but being a sore loser.

    Not the first time, by any means...the 2005 White Sox rode bad umpire calls to a World Championship. The only differences were that there were 3 or 4, all going in Chicago's favor, and they came in the league playoff rounds...it could be argued that the Sox may not even have MADE IT to the Series without the plethora of bad calls favoring them in the LDS and LCS.

    not arguing balls and strikes, im arguing the fact that holliday was out by three feet at first and the umpire blew the call. It changed the outcome of that inning. I guess the ump was just looking out for his home town team. He has been a cards fan his whole life. The worst part is the ump didnt care he missed the call on the biggest stage in baseball. This is just as bad as the blown call the cardinals had in 1985.

    Five words...Bernie Carbo safe at home...one of the worst blown calls ever.

    The umps back was literally turned the other way.

    I think in the post season each team should get 1 challenge per game. The ump did get it wrong, but I still think the cardinals would have won the game.

    Good teams find ways to win in spite of umpires.

    great point frik, especially when the other team gets extra outs. On an even playing ground the good team should find a way to win.
