Rangers vs Media
Can we stop talking about how the umps screwed up the calls and actually give the Rangers some credit? The visiting team was already up 2-0 even without the Michael Young 3-run homer. The Rays ended up with 2 hits and no runs. What’s the difference between 2-0 and 6-0? It’s still a W. Ok sure, psychologically it probably gave the Rangers an edge, but the Rays are a playoff familiar team. Calls can go both ways. You just play through it. So Yahoo, ESPN, et. al, stop ranting about how the call saved the game for the Rangers. It didn’t. Shut-up and focus on the real news — how we can manufacture runs when our hitting is weak, or the fact that our hitting AND pitching has been great so far. We’re dominating the Rays (at least the two games so far).
This is nothing like that blown call when the Mavs and Nuggets were tied and the ref totally missed the intentional foul on Anthony (at 2:10). That was a game changing call. So don’t write crap about how we stole the game from the Rays.
