The Phillies got screwed last night. They should have stopped the game in the bottom of the fifth and the game and the series should have been over. Instead they continued on to the sixth and the Devil Rays tied it up on a horribly sloppy field on balls that would have been caught if there wasn't fifty gallons of water on the infield. What a rip-off!
This reminds me of the pine tar game. Billy Martin knew that George Brett's bat was illegal and waited to just the right time to call it to the umpires attention. The ump's ruled correctly on the field but the league changed the ruling "in the best interests of baseball." They didn't follow what the rules said, instead they changed it in the middle of the game because that is what the rules should of said.
We are going to get a lot of that now. Just wait and see.
