Only in Baltimore can fans can gloat and managers guarantee wins after a game decided on this call. That is Birdland!

He did appear safe

But maybe you should be mad at the umpire, not at the fans for being happy their team won. Sheesh!

And where was your outrage

at all the balls and strikes calls that went DET’s way for 9 innings?

I am pretty sure it's

Game wasn't necessarily decided on that call...

Luke Scott’s HR came in the bottom of that same inning, so it would’ve at least been tied again. You guys got jobbed, but it wasn’t the O’s that jobbed you.

That ump wasn't giving our pitchers shit all night

It was about time we caught a break.

Bad call

But to say “only in Baltimore…”

Jeffrey Maier, anyone?

Yep... that's definitely why you guys lost that game.

I’m sure it had nothing to do with you blowing a 6 run lead.

The evidence of the blown game three is right above you, show me evidence of the bad strike/ball calls then I’ll reconsider, but until then, enjoy a two game split you didn’t deserve.

I will enjoy it, thanks

Your team gave up ELEVEN runs and you’re blaming on play at the plate? That’s rich.

How about

(and I wish I could find video or a still of it) a phantom HBP call?

What when Adam Jones’ uniform was “hit” by a pitch? The same douche who stole this game from us tried to take away Thame’s homer.

I see you are staying abreast of this thread

The game is long over. Do yourself a favor, look in the mirror and think about this quote from Goethe “There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity”.

If that doesn’t sink in, I suppose you are always welcome here for comic relief.

I like him, can we keep him, dad?

I have a soft spot for inexplicable and unsolicited hatred. Tony is O. K. by me. In fact, I think I’ll name him Tony O.K.!

No..

when Gary Sheffield’s NOTHING was hit by a pitch!

In the rules of the game

a uniform counts… so that’s a terrible attempt at trying to pick out a bad call.

wow

you’d think after a team blows a 6 run lead, the fans would keep quiet. its not even like they won the game on that play. they won it on a hr by luke. keep em in the yard and you arent cryin.

Hey Tony

The Tigers have about as much of a chance as the Orioles do of making it to the postseason this year. Try not to get so bent out of shape over what are ultimately meaningless games.
