When the time comes, is Crawford going to be an upgrade over Nava?

[trekfan55]

Two run and counting mistake by the umpire.

What am I missing. Obviously gameday will not explain.

[budcrew08]

More runs is more gooder! Pedey!

[Rogelio Clemens]

[Andrew]

Exactly. And I suspect that all good Red Sox fans will be as accepting the next time such a call goes against the Red Sox

I actually feel bad about this. Not because it's unfair for the Tigers, screw them, but because I want to be able to complain when the umpires screw up the other way.

[mauidano]

Is this a gift from BAPIP? Runs on a blown call from the umps?

[AimingForYoko]

I really hope there is no karmic justice for that call...

[Freddy Linn]

Guns of Navarone.

Nope. Fister needs to make a better pitch.

[E5 Yaz]

Nope. Fister needs to make a better pitch.

That too ... although the blown pitch call against Aceves would not have ended the inning

Hmmmmm...gotta keep Daniel somehow.

Both of them. As for the rest of us, well...

Sox have been owed some karmic justice for MONTHS.

[Andrew]

What am I missing. Obviously gameday will not explain.

Aviles swung and missed at strike three for the third out, but argued that the ball hit the ground before Avila caught it (no idea how he would know), and the 1st base ump overruled the homeplate ump and said it was foul.

Replay clearly shows that, not only did Aviles not even make contact with the pitch, but Avila caught it cleanly.

Then the Sox score three runs.

Edit: Laird, not Avila.

Is that the one centered on the medic? That was an incredible episode.

Sure is. This Sox team could use a dirtdog like that Cajun medic: Zydeco walk-up music, morphine for the outfield.

[shawnrbu]

Have the Red Sox called Gene Lamont back yet?

Never mind, already explained.

Okay, you know what, it was a blown call but the umpires aren't the ones that allowed four straight base hits after that. Don't blame it all on them, leyland.

[Turrable]

The Aviles RBI is undeserved, but at some point it's Fister's fault for making shitty pitches. He easily could have given up those hits in the 3rd inning.

[AimingForYoko]

This is true. It just feels like when things this happen in favour of the Sox, it comes back on them twofold.

I prefer to blame their pitcher. It makes me feel better.

[Rogelio Clemens]

Here we go...

[mauidano]

Two for one toss here???

[Rogelio Clemens]

BTW, this stuff evens out... Is it just me, or does it seem like the Sox have been on the wrong side of calls lately? Our turn now...

[Snodgrass'Muff]

When Leyland gets animated it looks like they slowed down the camera when they filmed him, then sped it back up to full speed.

[aksoxfan]

Now they toss somebody? What a blew crew.

[ngruz25]

This is bizarre.

[Stu Nahan]

Where's Trot's dirty, scrappy hat?

[Rogelio Clemens]

Can do nothing wrong...

[bball831]

Everything going the Sox way right now.

[Andrew]

He came off the bag! Pedroia learns from the last game and keeps the tag on the runner.

Edit: Man, I'm having an off-day. Aviles keeps the tag on, not Pedroia.

Edited by Andrew, 28 May 2012 - 01:22 PM.

[bball831]

Did he get the hand in there before Aviles reapplied the tag?

[Nomar813]

The visitors' clubhouse is going to take one hell of a beating today.

[Pearl Wilson]

Leyland is awesome. He and Laird should both get themselves tossed and protest the game.

Everything is going our way!

[AimingForYoko]

Are the Tigers the Mirror Universe Red Sox?

[budcrew08]

Jimmy Leyland giving Welke a piece of his mind.

Nice tag.

[Andrew]

Now they toss somebody? What a blew crew.

They let them complain for over 5 minutes. At some point it's time to get back to the game.

[Snodgrass'Muff]

Okay, you know what, it was a blown call but the umpires aren't the ones that allowed four straight base hits after that. Don't blame it all on them, leyland.

To be fair, if the tables were turned, we'd be going ballistic right now.

[aksoxfan]

Fun game so far...

[Sprowl]

Doubront strikes out a leftie with a cutter low and away -- nice looking pitch.

[Andrew]

To be fair, if the tables were turned, we'd be going ballistic right now.

There'd be a contingent telling us all to stop whining and start blaming the pitcher, though.

[Snodgrass'Muff]

Sure, and I'm sure there are some Tigers fans doing just that on a Tigers message board. All I'm saying is that it's easy to understand Leyland's anger and while it's also easy to chuckle from this end, we've all been guilty of reacting that way to similar situations.

[ngruz25]

The Pedro-Clemens game may be my favorite regular season game ever. Trot was my favorite player as a kid (shut up), I loved Pedro and I hated Roger, so it was perfect.

(also it was ump-aided, the Frye HBP hit the knob of his bat)

[mauidano]

Good times with Trot. Good times.

If the score holds up, we'll have mirrored W-L records.

Yup

[Rogelio Clemens]

Dooby Dooby Doo

[shawnrbu]

It was a pleasure to root for a true gamer like Trot.

[Rasputin]

Trot doesn't know to shut up when the inning ends...

[Back Bay]

Fenway gun has been drugged again. it was quite humble earlier this season.

[fenwaypaul]

Ha ha. Trot won't shut up, so by the time they come back from the break, NESN will have missed the first five pitches.
