I was watching the game from the beginning. After the blown call I screamed "No!" at the TV over and over like a madman. Gah, I feel sick. What should be a joyous moment for all of the Tigers and their fans has turned into a twisted mess thanks to one blown call.
Players were screaming at the ump. Right now I'm watching the catcher that called the game (Alex Avila) cry during an interview. Just horrible.
Here's a pic of the would be last out ... http://www.mlive.com/tigers/index.ssf/2010/06/armando_galarraga_comes_within.html |
This is just sad. I feel for Tiger fans and for the game of baseball in general which tonight was denied an historic moment by a horrible call. What a disgrace.
