The runner, Willie Bloomquist, eventually came around to score the tying run. Next inning, Mariners took the lead on a solo shot off a 98mph Mariano Rivera fastball. Other replays/angles show he was out by a solid 2-3 feet.

Another angle would be nice. Don't they use the replay stuff in MLB now too?

I've seen bad calls like this before. Part of the game I guess.

Screw it. It went against the Yankees, and that's enough to make it a great call!

Speaking of the Yanks,did you hear about the deal they just made with Roger Clemmons for an obscene amount of money?!

My husband heard on the radio that he has in his contract that he doesn't even have to show up at the away games that he isn't scheduled to pitch.
