You got to have that "human element" in the game. I mean, who doesn't get entertained seeing humans make bad calls?
The funny thing is that if the teams were reversed and if was Pedroia (or whoever) getting thrown out at the plate it would be a huge deal that a big market team battling for a division got hosed out of a win. You read ESPN's joke of a recap and it's written up like it's a "disputed" call with only quotes from Farrell complaining about it. That's not a disputed call - that's a blown call.
