    Thats more on Salty for throwing to 3rd with 2 outs.

    Eat it, and let Koji get one more out and take your chances in extras.

    Ridiculous how much luck they get in the playoffs.

    Very good team but they've gotten a lot of breaks over the years.

    Absolutely agree. Two straight losses for Boston thanks to bad throwing decisions

    I'm convinced that, many years ago, the baseball gods determined that the St. Louis Cardinals would be their "chosen" team. By that, they would make sure that they received an absurd amount of playoff good fortune and luck. But, in order to balance things out, they would make sure the Atlanta Braves would be the exact opposite of that in the playoffs.


    I ******* hate the Cardinals more than any other team in baseball. Them and the Yankees used to be 1a and 1b, but now the Cardinals are an easy #1. It mostly has to do with where I was born and raised, and being around insufferable Cardinals fans my whole life, but I absolutely cannot stand them.

    Ross should be the Red Sox starter at C now for the rest of the series.

    Salty cant hit and hes cost them two games with errant throws.

    One more thing: Give credit to the 3rd base ump Jim Joyce for making that call. IMO, that is a gutsy call to make at the end of any game, much less a World Series game.

    One question....where was Middlebrooks supposed to go? It looked to me like he had the right to try to catch the ball and the runner jumped out of the baseline, almost intentionally. I don't have a problem with the call but just wonder if the rule says that Middlebrooks was supposed to just stand there and watch the throw go into left field.

    That's not what's being debated.

    Torre said he had his right to field the ball which he tried to do. What the call was, was Middlebrooks putting his legs up and tripping over Craig.

    It also looked like Craig actually slipped trying to get up and just fell into the legs. Impossible to tell but if Middlebrooks had just not moved he was already in a good position to fairly block Craig.

    Freaking Cardinals. I was at a party last night with a Cubs fan and a Reds fan. All three of us were furious. Looks like the right call, but that damn luck....

    Can't believe I'm having to root for Boston.

    I feel ya, but I can't root for the Red Sox and their totally insane fan base. I was actually hoping for a diarrheal outbreak in both locker rooms that would cause an embarrassing series of fecal excretions by players on the field.

    Agree that it was a terrible decision by Saltalamacchia to even throw it to 3rd. Maybe his hand got caught in his beard.

    My dad who's a Cardinals fan even admits to it. After last night he said the Cardinals will probably get another infield fly rule go their way to win the game tonight.

    Game-ending triple play, or walk-off walk.
