Are you kidding me?!

Outrageous!  This will go down as one of the most egregious calls in World Series history.  Bottom of the 9th in game three; Red Sox and Cardinals tied at 4 apiece, the Cards had men at 2nd and 3rd base.  An infield blooper fielded by Dustin Pedroia found its mark and threw out Molina as he approached home plate.  No one could contest that! 

However, as the play was unfolding, Red Sox Catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia attempted to throw out Allan Craig coming in from second base; third baseman Will Middlebrooks missed that throw, and the play was made by Left Fielder Daniel Nava who threw to home to stop Craig from scoring.

Incredibly, Craig tripped over Middlebrooks and continued toward home, plate umpire Dana DeMuth called him safe signaling to third, and the throw to home for an easy and undeniable out was called due to obstruction.

Bottom line is the Cards have walked away with a very questionable win in game three of the World Series.  It is going to get very ugly up in Amherst, MA.
