Living Rarefied

Reiner and I went to a show at the House of Comedy at the Mall of America last night. Tuesday’s Hit or Miss.. was very very good and was only $7 a ticket. Great value.

Watching the Twins / Yankees game #2 Friday night I witnessed something that happens to Minnesota sports more often than normally possible. A fair ball was called foul, this ball would have put Joe Mauer on 2nd base. It bounded out of play for what would have been a ground rule double. A few singles later in the inning would have put the Twins on the board. Instead they left runners stranded after those singles.

The problem with this is the umpire was about 20 feet from the spot it landed, perfect view and he blew the call. This one should have been a prime example for instant replay because the ball bounded out of play so it was a dead ball and they could have put Mauer on 2nd. Clear cut…

Others are thinking the same thing, Nicholas Deleon at CrunchGear posted about this.. Prompting me to air my grievances as a long time Twins fan.
