Crazy game in Philly.

Contreras and Lidge blow a 5 run lead in the 9th and the game goes into extras tied 9-9.

Twins then get a pinch-hit HR from Drew Butera in the Top of the 10th. Philles come back in the bottom of the 10th and tie the game on a pinch-hit HR of their own.

Gameday just declared that Zobrist made an out from the Marlins catcher to their center fielder? Did anyone actually see it that can explain what happened?

Do they have it reversed and someone was thrown out at home?

Edit - Never mind. They changed the out and they were just completely wrong.

I think the Florida manager made a mistake with his lineup switch in the last inning and Crazy Joe Maddon caught him on it.

I was referring to the half-inning prior.

Sorry. This was what I was looking at:

MIAMI (AP) — Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez was ejected in an odd ninth inning scene Saturday night, after plate umpire Lance Barksdale determined Florida's Brian Barden batted out of order.

Gonzalez argued it vehemently, then calmly stayed on the field as Barksdale reviewed his lineup card for several minutes after motioning that the manager was ejected.

Once that review was over, Barden — who had drawn a leadoff walk — was called out as well, after an apparent miscommunication between Gonzalez and Barksdale over the substitution.

Barden entered the game in the ninth when Marlins shortstop Hanley Ramirez left with a tight right hamstring.

Yeah I actually flipped to mlb network when I saw ejection. It'd be nice if the Marlins didn't blow this opportunity.

It's hilarious how much I would've loathed that idea 3 years ago.

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

Holy shit....it's now 9-8, and the Marlins have no outs, men at 1st and 3rd

[YouDownWithOBP?]

This game is all kinds of crazy by the way. After TB took a 9-5 lead in the 11th, Florida has 1st and 3rd no outs, 9-8. Sonnanstine coming in after throwing 55 pitches in relief yesterday.

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

Anibal Sanchez is pinch hitting with the tying run on 3rd. Seriously.

[scottyno]

this is going to be a gross tease

[radsoxfan]

Sanchez is bunting? It will be a GIDP

Edit: nice steal there, big play

I was REALLY hoping that was Gameday fucking up.

[radsoxfan]

Haha...nice swing there 3-2. I would have considered giving the take sign, but he fought it off

[radsoxfan]

Egh, all up to Uggla

[YouDownWithOBP?]

I hate NL baseball

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

Uggla could go deep here....

[radsoxfan]

Zobrist caught that in the webbing. Almost blew that one. Dammit

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

I fucking hate National League baseball.

And Hanley is a pussy.

[Brianish]

Marlins. You've always been a disappointment to me.

[phragle]

F that

[TFisNEXT]

What a cocktease....massive choke by Florida with those 2 Ks with the tying run on 3rd and 0 outs.

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

Marlins. You've always been a disappointment to me.

Except for 2003

Fair point.

With the massive exception of one fantastic week, you've always been a disappointment to me.

CB Bucknor calling his usual putrid game balls and strikes-wise, puts Freddy Sanchez in a 2 strike hole calling a pitch 6 inches outside a strike, and then Freddy hits a 3 run homer off the foul pole. Even Giants color guy Mike Krukow mentioned earlier that Bucknor was voted worst MLB ump by the players. Good on Freddy though, first homer of the year.

What's the prize for this?

Except for 2003

The other great thing about the Marlins in 2003 was that in going to the World Series, they indirectly caused Olindo Mare to miss a 35 yard field goal off the infield dirt -that otherwise would have been gone - against the Pats that would have clinched a game the Dolphins instead ended up losing in OT. Instead of 4-3 New England was 5-2 and wouldn't lose again for more than a year.

[Spacemans Bong]

Bucknor has been voted worst umpire by the players several times. I'm astonished MLB hasn't figured a way to fire him. I guess they can't get at him for disciplinary reasons because he actually seems like a mild-mannered guy, he just is absolutely abysmal at his job.
