Great, the Rangers have to beat the Red Sox and the Umpires

[Badger28]

First, the a-hole 3rd base ump can't make a correct call on the 3rd base line costing the Rangers a run and now the home plate umpire totally messes up a play at the plate costing another rangers run.

Unbelievable - anyone else watching this absolute garbage on t.v. ?

They just showed the replay at home about 5 times and he was out, but just barely. Varitek did an awesome job blocking the plate, great slide my Vizquel tho

the announcers themselves say he was safe - he touched the plate before any tag was applied.

we must be watching on different channels because the announces on this channel have been saying he was def out but praising Vizquel for the slide and effort

Maybe we are, but these announcers said, and I quote, "he was out b/c he was called out but Vizquel made a great slide and effort and was safe".

Vizquel was clearly safe at home

Thank you - I didn't think I was totally blind yet. Anyway, Rangers might be able to take on and beat both of these clowns yet thanks to Nelson Cruz.

Vizquel should have been called safe, and that should have been a double down the line. Both missed calls, but at least Texas won anyway.
