I concur, especially after the ump called the same pitch a strike on the next Marlins batter.

p.s. This world series blows.

that and the high strike he DIDN'T give him a couple pitches before.

nothing is worse than an inconsistent ump.

Why can't people sing the National Anthem or this God Bless America (at the 7th inning stretch) normally????


And...is David Cassidy the next Dick Clark? :)

i figured they sing 'take me out to the ball game' after 'God Bless America'. 'take me out' is never shown during the regular season, so i figured the same logic applies here. anyone been to a post-season game this season that could shed some more light on the subject? preferably someone who stuck around until at least the 8th? :D

I think they do but it's not televised due to money hungry television stations.

Joe Torre should've put David Cassidy to pinch hit for the Moose. :)

GOOOO MARLINS!!!

I'm guessing singing God Bless America only came about after 9/11. And what's with the eagle flying around?

Might have been a nice gesture in the days and weeks right after 9/11 but now it's just maudlin.

It would be unpatriotic to not sing God Bless America and you don't want to seem unpatriotic now do ya? :p

Marlins need to freaking execute! Gonzalez can't even bunt over Conine what a GIP! Chances are seriously decreasing with them since anytime now we will be seeing Rivera and he is as surest as a sure thing gets. :/

GOOO CASTILLO!

yeah. i noticed that. he wasnt even bunting, more like doing half-swings. he needs to square up earlier and time the location and bunt better.

Third time he has struck out tonight. Worst at bat of the night. Even worse than Soriano's swings this postseason.

Marlins are definately not swinging the bat the same way they did against the Giants or the Cubs. I understand its the Yanks but one thing is swinging and one thing is looking and so far they have looked at more Yankee pitches than swinging at em. They just haven't been as aggresive.

Definately looks like another rain delay is coming.
