 Francona tossed after home run call overturned
Boston Red Sox manager Terry Francona was ejected Saturday night after the umpire crew overturned a second call in a span of two innings, this one awarding San Diego’s Josh Bard a home run. Bard’s fly ball off Tim Wakefield bounced off the foul pole on the side of the Western Metal Supply Co. brick warehouse, but third base umpire Brian Knight ruled it a foul ball. After Padres manager Bud Black protested, the umpires huddled and the call was changed to a home run, giving the Padres a 5-0 lead.

Red Sox and othersIt's interesting to watch a team go from the underdog to the team on top that everyone tries to knock down. I am a Bostonian and sat through what seemed like endless years of sub-par Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots teams that disappointed me annually. The poor Red Sox, people thought they had a curse that couldn't be lifted. But now the Sox are World Series winners twice in three years, something I never thought I'd say! All of a sudden, the Red Sox are the mighty that everyone will want to beat. They are the bad guys now, the ones everybody wants a piece of. And it's the same thing with the Patriots. They are now hated by lots of football fans. One commentator called every game against the Pats as that team's Super Bowl. I haven't seen the Patriots this year, but I went to the Angeles vs Red Sox game 3 in the playoffs and also Game 2 of the World Series. I bought game tickets from here. This year, I think I am going to forget about sports for a while and instead check out a show, maybe Young Frankenstein. But of course you can bet you'll see me at Fenway Park or Wrigley Field during this upcoming MLB season. |
