THE BRIGHT SIDE
Can't find one.
Some of the key plays were:
1. Chone Figgins bobbling the ball allowing Bill Mueller to reach base. The Kennedy Effect strikes again.
2. The ump calling K-Rod's strike three to Bellhorn ball four. The ump squeezed the plate, yes: but he was consistent all game. Until the seventh. This was a big miss.
3. Jose Molina declining to block the slider in the dirt. Honestly, just start calling those passed balls.
K-Rod's run, if you ask me, should be unearned, thanks to the misplays of Figgins and Molina. And yes, I know Damon forced Roberts, so it wasn't really the same runner. But it is, essentially.
4. The ump missing the call on Glaus. Okay, this one didn't matter as much, really. After Vlad justmissed and Garret did his Buckingham Palace Guard impression, we had two outs with a guy on first.
But the ump, for the second time in as many innings, blew the call. It was a terrible, terrible call, and Glaus and Scioscia had every right to be upset.
But, of course, it wasn't the ump that lost the game for us, we managed that ourselves with our mistakes and missed opportunities.
With Kelvim pitching Friday, I'm sure we'll be eliminated with a 1-0 loss.

If I had been Glaus, I would have turned around, ripped off his mask, and flattened Meals with one punch right there in front of God and everyone.
That guy is the most pathetic piece of shit ever selected to work a post-season game.
