The crew won't be replaced, but the AL Director of Umpires will likely have a conference call or an on-site.

As to umpire's calls, I always remember what Tom Landry used to say when the Cowboys lost on a close call by an official:

"If an official's call determines the outcome of a game, you didn't play hard enough."

Landry flew B-17s or B-29s, as I recall. That's what made him such a cool customer in the NFL.

That's bullsh!t in a 1-1 game. That's an excellent game on both sides of the ball. No one didn't play hard enough tonight. The Angels were robbed. I'm not even an Angels fan, but I'm as pissed about this as I would if it had happened to the Red Sox-- which it did in the 2004 ALCS, but the bad calls were overturned.
