I've only watched it once, but it wasn't as bad of a call as I thought it was going to be. He was clearly out, and was clearly a bad call, but the catcher barely tagged him with the swipe tag. I'm assuming the ump thought he missed him.
I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.

He's clearly out. I'm just saying after all the hubbub I thought it was going to be screamingly bad. It was bad and wrong, but I could see how he may have missed it.

I wasn't posting the photo for your benefit. Just posting it for general consumption.
The ump was probably tired and decided that he was going to call the play safe if it was even the slightest bit close.

When the runner is clearly tagged 4 feet in front of the plate, the runner doesn't even touch the plate until way after the play is over, it's the 19th inning, and the call decides the game between two contending teams, I'm not sure how that can be construed as not being an absolutely awful call.

I'm simply saying that I could see him missing the tag, because it was a swipe tag that barely got him. He shouldn't have missed it, but I've seen far worse calls than this one. I'm also saying it was a bad call, but it's not nearly as obvious as people are making it out to be.
Where he was tagged, when he was tagged, the inning he was tagged, the standings of the team doing the tagging and the team being tagged are irrelevant. By your definition, every missed call in a close crucial game is an absolutely awful call.

Unless the ump's view was blocked...and it's his job to be in the right position...that was a horrible call.

If this happened in the 4th inning of a 8-2 Cubs/Astros game this season would it have been as bad of a call?

It would have been the exact same. The ramifications would be different, the badness of the call would be identical.

So apparently the Sox traded Jackson and Teahen to the Jays for a SP prospect and Frasor, who in turn flipped Jackson and a bunch of spare parts (including Corey Patterson) to the Cards for Rasmus. Also, Beltran is close to being traded to the Giants.

Meanwhile, Hendry enjoyed a deep dish pizza and a handjob.

Ervin Santana pitched a no-hitter vs. Cleveland.
This is not some silly theory that's unsupported and deserves being mocked by photos of Xena. ![[Image: ITgoyeg.png]](http://i.imgur.com/ITgoyeg.png)

How many times has Jackson been traded? Geez.
I hate my pretentious sounding username too.
