All of that is moot anyway because the baseline/base path has nothing to do with an obstruction call in a situation like that.

You're right tho, a call like that, to end a World Series game, especially after Pedroia's fantastic stop and throw home? Yeah, that does suck.

Yeah, the absolute one thing that cannot happen when you're the pinch runner. Much less in a World Series game, in the bottom of the ninth, with two outs.

Looks like those who could afford tickets are getting their money's worth. As for those of us you are viewing at home, it's been a nail biter.

The sawx finally figured out that in order to beat the Cards and the Umps fair and square, they have to win decisively.

Cards have great pitching...Wacha has been an animal these playoffs...4-0...1.00 ERA. He should have lost game 2 though...Saawx poor fielding handed the Cards the game. Hopefully it's a good game and not a blow out either way...may the best team win!!!

A great Fogerty tune...one of my favorites. Napoli is in the lineup...1st base...batting clean up. With him it's generally all or nothing...hopefully tonight it's all!!!
