Game 2 demoralized the Angels. They weren't the same after that joke of a call. Props to the Sox for capitalizing on it. After playing 3 games in 3 days in 3 different time zones, the Angels gave it their all. The Sox proved to be the better team.

the umpiring in the league series has been atrocious. strikeout calls, calls at the bags, and otherwise: through and through awful umpiring.

that being said, no instant replay. i hate watching football, and the replay plays a factor in that. if it were to be installed in baseball, it would completely destroy the rhythm that makes the game so great.

the josh paul-a.j. play: paul should have tagged the batter. the umpire wasn't entirely clear, but when you catch the ball as it is almost in the dirt, you tag the batter. in the future, watch b.mo, matheny, pudge, ausmus, and any other catcher with a clue of how ti field the position. it's standard operating procedure: anywhere near close, you tag. even on plays that are obviously out of the dirt, catchers will frequently tag. the umpire certainly was not in the right, but paul made a foolish error that boils down to lack of focus and laziness, as compared to the umpire's gaff, which is a consequence of impaired vision and a difficult call.
