Yet Another Sports Post

I will add this post to the burgeoning canon of on-line opinions about the nutty ending to last night's White Sox/Angels game. Aside from the fact that I think the Angels got robbed on that one call, I have some other thoughts.

1. The Angels were affected by the umpires, but they lost that game on their own. The umpires put a runner on first with two outs, but that is it. Sure it meant Angels' pitcher Melvim Escobar had to pitch four outs that inning, but it was Escobar who continued to pitch from the stretch with a man on first. And it was Escobar who left that 0-2 pitch over the plate for Crede to hit.

Holding the umpires responisble for a blown call is fair game, but to pin this loss on them is not too far removed from blaming the Cubbies' demise a few years back on that fan who tried to catch a foul ball.

2. I am so glad I am not a fan of either team. I'd be so very pissed if I were an Angels fan and feeling pretty sheepish as White Sox fans.

3. Last year it was David Ortiz. This year it's A.J. Pierzynski. It is hard as a Twins fans to watch these ex-Twinkies play huge roles in their teams' playoff success. A.J. is having a great playoff run, with or without the umps blown call.

Of the remaining four teams, I'd love to see the Astros or Cards win. GO NL!!!
