There were also a couple of questionable calls that went against the Yankmees...remember Pedroias "steal" of second base...on replay he was clearly out.
I also don't blame Lowell for getting upset...I believe the umpire gave him every chance to walk away before running him...probably a whole lot more leeway than Lowrie or Ellsbury would have gotten...in deference to his longevity. The umpires didn't cost the Saawx the game...the Yankmee pitching did.
I believe I read that you are going to see the Saawx today or tomorrow...hope you have a great time...and that the Saawx win!!!
