I'm not saying that the game turned on that one call, just that as a fan of the team it's frustrating to have it blown.

Yes you get some blown calls, and not others. However, being on the losing side doesn't make that any consolation.

To add insult to injury, it was a World Series game so the importance is incredibly high (not like a blown call in June) and in theory the crew working the game should be the absolute best in the majors. Meaning, of all the umpires in the world, they're the guys that should get that right. You literally don't get any better, and they still get it wrong. Frustrating.

On a personal level I follow two professional sports teams with vigour, the Calgary Flames & Texas Rangers. In my 22 years of sports watching (there abouts, not my age but time actually following the teams) I've seen my teams get to their respective league finals three times. So far they're 0-2 and trailing 1 game to none in a third appearance.

Frustrating.


But like I said to a friend today, what makes playoffs so great is when you win you feel like you'll never lose, and when you lose you feel like you'll never win.

Bah, I'm a rambling nervous wreck.

Go Rangers! (The Texas ones, the New York ones should lose tonight)
