A-Rod knocked the ball out of Arroyo's glove as Arroyo was trying to apply the tag on A-Rod as A-Rod ran from the batters box to first base on a grounder up the first base line. The first base ump originally ruled A-Rod safe. As the ball rolled away, Jeter ran from second to home and A-Rod advanced to 2nd base. An obviously flustered Francona (sp?) jogged out to the field to argue with the umps. I wasn't privy to the exact conversation but my inside sources have informed me that the discussion between the Red Sox manager and the umps were more like desperate please and whelps from Francona. "I'm going to lose my job. The fans in Boston already sent me death threats! You got to help me please." While the umps did rule A-rod out, it wasn't because they felt compassion for Frany. They just called it like they saw it.
PS my inside source is my overactive imagination. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Purchase from House of Fusion, a Macromedia Authorized Affiliate and support the CF community. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=37 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:131822 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
