Anyone else see the Umpire Jerry Meals decide it was time for bed and totally take control of the game and give the Braves a run and the win in the bottom of the 19th inning? :mad:

I didn't see it, aspeck, but while working and listening to my fav talk show on the radio today, I think you "hit the nail on the head". It is a call in show and almost everybody agrees with you!

One of the worst (if not THE worst) call I've seen in any sport in a long time. Time for instant replay?

Re: Pirates Got Robbed!!!!!

I had just put 95 teenagers to bed and was exhausted myself when I saw the game was still on in the 18th inning! Watched the 18th and 19th inning and was so upset it took a while to get to sleep, and had to be up at 5:20 to be ready to wake the teens up and get them on their way today after feeding them! Not a happy camper! Ready for a nap now!

I was tied up watching the plate ump in the Rangers/Twins game walk a batter on 4 strikes and 2 balls by CJ Wilson, then strike Ian Kinsler out on 6 balls and one strike. The Twins ended up winning by 1 run. . .supplied by bad calls on pitches. :(

I guess he felt sorry for the poor Twins who were whomped 20-5 the previous evening.

My source was the pitch monitor.

The game was blacked out here in ATL, but I just saw the game video from the Braves TV broadcasters. The Braves announcers didn't believe it either. Beat'em, Bucs! That shows my age.

I watched the replay just now....????

I hope the Pirates break .500 this year. For the fans.

Boy Scouts took me to a game at 3 Rivers in the early 70's. That place.....at that time.....at my age.....was amazing!
