Re: Postseason Scoreboard watching....

I think it was a bad call, but I don't get the outrage some have. I do think there is some reasoning for making the call the way it was made though I think a no call would have been a better choice on that play.

In the end, the team that made 3 ugly errors and didn't hit with runners on base was the losing team. The fact that they weren't rewarded for hitting a pop-up with men on first and second is far from the worst injustice in post season history.

I wonder if the opponent would have been anyone other than the "evil" St. Louis Cardinals if the board would have been as adamant that the call should have gone Atlanta's way instead of the way it went.

On another note, I love that the Orioles sent the Rangers home last night. The Rangers were annointed after they signed Darvish. Glad to see them go home early and some long suffering fans get the season extended for at least another series.
