ESPN.com - MLB - Game Update

I watched this one start to finish. Great game! Ex-Cubs all around...Lieber, Bill Mueller, Felix Heredia, and Mark Bellhorn, along with an ex-White Sox Keith Foulke.

Sights seen...

  • Umps blowing a call on a homer that hit a spectator in the left field seats and came back onto the field. They all met up and reversed the call giving the Red Sox a 4-0 lead.

  • Schiling throwing a GREAT game on a semi-bum ankle. You could even see the blood stains on his sock.

  • A-Rod slapping at a tag like a little girl which led to another reversed call saving the Red Sox from a big Yankee Inning, calling A-Rod out at first for interference and sending Jeter back to first after he'd scored during the play and the later confusion.

  • These *correct* calls leading the New York scumbags to throw debris onto the field...delaying the game and getting cops in full riot gear called on to stand at the lines.

  • I'd heard Dan Patrick (or was it Showkiller) say the over/under on 'Jeter reaction shots' shown by Fox tonight would be 100. I didn't get the joke because I hadn't watched any previous games in the series. Now I do...and I'll take the 'over'.


Nice to see the umps reverse two calls for the better. Great game!

I remember Mueller going for a foul ball (against the Cards I think) during his Cub days and slamming his knee against the signage on the rolled up tarps. I think he broke his knee.
