Jobbed....

Whatever you watch and read about this game, the real story was the inconsistancy behind the plate by the umpires.  Home plate umpire Marty Foster is clearly a Yankee fan, and his bias was more than evident tonight.  The Yanks lone run was scored, when Beckett was squeezed with two outs and two strikes on two different batters, that allowed the inning to continue in both instances.  The entire game it seemed the strikezone was different for the Yanks and Sox.  The K zone on NESN showed many instances where the home plate umpire Marty Foster not only got it wrong, but wasn't even close.

  With one out and a man at first, Mike Lowell was called out was called on a called strike three that he had to move out of the way for.  The replays showed the pitch was no where near the zone, in any way shape or form.  J.D. Drew of course was also called out on a called strike three to end the game.  However his strikeout did not look as bad, he just looked like a jackass standing there with the game on the line and his hand up his ***.  Typical for Drew, twice he came up in this game with men on base, and both times he folded. 

  Look I get it, Major League Baseball needs the Yankees in the playoffs every year.  Isn't it enough though that they recieve an easier schedule than everyone in the A.L. East.  I think with the favor they ave recieved from MLB they should at least have to go out and win thier games.  Obviously what I hate a loss to the Yanks, but what i hate more is when the umps decide the outcome of a game, especially as close as this one.
