Foul Ball? Foul Call!

A baseball season is long, I mean really long.

So rarely do I get up-in-arms about game.

But, what happened to the Marlins last night was just awful.

They lost because of a game-winning hit that was called a foul ball (not pictured).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let me paint the picture.

After the predicatable bullpen meltdown in the 9th, the Marlins had a chance to win the game in walk-off fashion.

Former Cane Gaby Sanchez laced a ball right past the third base bag, and CLEARLY inside the line.

The players were getting ready to rush onto the field.

The winning run was on its way in from second.

Chris Coghlan was ready with a pie (too soon?)

However, faster than you can say England-Germany in the World Cup, Bob Davidson inexplicably called the ball foul.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edwin Rodriguez ran out to protest.

I was shocked he didn't get ejected.

He should've ripped up the bases.

He should've kicked dirt.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Predictably, after the call, the Marlins bullpen blew the game in the 10th.

Look, the Marlins are not a playoff team this year.

Their bullpen is awful.

Their lineup has holes.

They're going to lose their fair share of ballgames.

It's just a shame when they lose games, that they actually won!

At the risk of being obvious, replay anyone?
