Two interesting games

During game 3 of the World Series, the White Sox won despite the umpires suddenly switching loyalties on them, as the umps did what they could to offer the Astros a victory in this series. Several Chicago residents had to restart their pacemakers when, for the first time in the postseason, a bad call went against the White Sox when a ball that was not a home run was called one by the second base umpire. (There was the phantom tag call that was made in favor of the Angels, but that call was overturned. The only bad call the umpires ended up correcting was originally made in favor of the White Sox opponent.) Then, Jermaine Dye, (You remember, he took a note from his teammate A.J. Peirzinski's book, "How to get first base without deserving it" when he took three steps to first after a 3-2 pitch hit his bat (not his person) in a successful effort to give the home plate umpire a reason to send him to first.) was not awarded first base after the ball grazed his jersey. Some Chicago fans began to wonder if they were existing in some twisted parallel dimension! But the White Sox (Like the Angels in Game 1 of the ALCS) played only 9 players and defeated a team of 15 (the 9 positions + the 6 umpires).

During game 1 of the ALCS vs the Angels, they failed to win even with the assistance of the men behind the masks (and this after 3 extra days rest and the Angles playing their third game in a row in their third time zone! Don't even try to tell me the White Sox were a better team!) This issue was nearly the case again during game 2 when all 9 innings had been played and we were headed to extra innings (a game that over 80% of baseball fans believed the Angels would have won had it actually gone to extras.) when Mr. "I have no feeling in my left hand" A.J. Peirzinski illegally took first base, and was illegally awarded it.
