Welcoming our new insect overlords
Great win for the Phillies today, as Ibanez is earning his keep in his first two weeks.
It wound up not mattering in the end, but you and I must have been looking at a different video.alkeiper said:I just got a look at the Posada home run video. Sorry guys, but that looked like a home run.
JHawk said:A long fly ball, a fan reached over the guardrail and bumped into Crowe's glove. It was borderline whether it would have even cleared the wall, but was definitely fan interference. After about eight minutes of discussing and "reviewing" and the primary TV replay clearly showing that there was no way in hell that it was a home run, they still got the call wrong and essentially handed the Yankees the lead.
Apparently it's legal to interfere with a ball in the field of play at the new Yankee Stadium as well.
And of course, Eric Wedge can't protest because despite the replay being obvious, he'd have been ejected automatically for arguing the call.
It's safe to say the replay experiment is a failure.
Thank goodness for that. Between the Brewers series and the Cardinals series, the Cubs have already put me through the wringer. I couldn't take a fourth game of that shit. I as a fan and the Cubs as a team shouldn't have to be pushed to the limit by the likes of Skip Schumaker, Brian Barden, Chris Duncan, David Freese, Brendan Ryan, and Joe Thurston. The strike ended 14 years ago and nobody seems to have told St. Louis they don't need the scabs.
His glove also made contact with a fan's glove in the field of play, impeding his progress toward the ball.Brooklyn Zoo said:Crowe missed the ball. It was like to his left.
