Umps bought it.
Guillen did not step up to bring forth integrity.
Black Sox.
This bahavior marred a great game played well by both teams. Now the Sox are again the Black Sox.
You see, if they go on to win (they won't) they will always be scarred with this.
That is why Piersinski was wrong and Guillen was wrong not to go out to argue, ostensibly, and set it straight.
tallhappy you're clueless and obviously don't have a clue about how baseball is played.
Every coach I know teaches their kids to run to first after every strike three pitch.
And you know what, sometimes it takes a half second to stick in your head to run to first.
I've had kids do exactly the same thing. They react to the strike three, (which was called), and then realize the ball hit the ground and run to first.
And I've had catchers throw the ball to the third baseman, or the pitcher and the ump has not called out yet.
Black sox my eye. The Angels catcher made a HUGE MISTAKE, and he screwed up by not listening to the call. he never called him out.
Case closed, go WHINE somewhere else....
