So the argument is -- umpires have screwed this call up before so we should make it a controversy that they didn't screw it up this time. Huh? Let's let 12-year-old brats reach over the wall to catch fly balls and call them home runs, then, since blue screwed that one up before. The head of umpiring called TBS and Ernie Johnson read the rule on air last night. Based on that, it was the correct call. -- Matt
