It's over
This was the first game the Angels had a serious chance to win since Game 2. They were hitting the ball harder, but it still was right at guys. Of course, the Angels still had no calls go their way (Frankie threw a beautiful strike to Crede that would have ended the 8th, but the ump called it a ball...after that Frankie never recovered). Ok, they had exactly one call go there way, with a fan idiotically reacing over the railing in RF to pick up a ball that would have been a Figgins triple (yes, Figgins had a hit) and was instead a ground rule double (the call that went their way was that AK was given home plate from first, something the umps decided he definitely would have gotten). The Angels mostly beat themselves this time, Escy giving up a home run to Crede, then tagging Pierzynski with his gloved hand when the bare hand held the ball (he even had placed the ball in the glove before removing it and tagging Pierzynski, and he could have avoided everything with a soft throw to 1st), Vlad being terrible (he has to have a messed up shoulder, no other explanation), and Frankie losing the ability to throw strikes after the aforementioned at bat against Crede. I hope none of these umps are considered for the World Series.
