Thanks to Allan Wood at Joy of Sox for twigging me to the 'preformatted text' tag (example above); this may change the coding in this blog in a big way.

Umpires:

Home - Jerry Meals
First Base - Mark Wegner
Second Base - Dan Iassogna
Third Base - Dale Scott

Notes:

The roof is closed.

Bottom of 1

* I don't think I've ever seen such a bone headed base coaching decision in my life! It's Gardner in left you idiot.

Bottom of 2

* Overbay's seeing eye grounder hits the lip of the turf around 2B and pops over a diving Nunez - never had a chance to make a play.

Bottom 3

* Teixeira dragged his toe across the corner of the bag as he stretched for Nunez's long throw from DEEP in the hole nice play, bad call.

Next batter cashes the umping error.

Between the 5th and 6th innings

Home plate Umpire Jerry Meals throws out Yunel Escobar (SS) while he's standing out near the 2nd base cut-out. ??? Cito Gaston is thrown as well before the cameras come back from commercial.

John McDonald in at short.

Bottom of the 6th

Jerry Meals starts a bench clearing brawl (actually a mill-about, as Buck Martinez coins) by running out from behind the plate after a wild pitch up and in on Bautista (the call was in, the pitch got away from Nova, up). As soon as Bautista sees the warning he starts mouthing off to Nova and then Nova says you got a problem with me? and the benches clear. Meals was out of line there was no need for a warning this was not in response to anything the Toronto battery did, in a pitchers duel in the late innings the next mistake pitch and the starter, who ever it is has to go. It's the kids first ever major league start, he's not throwing at anyone, the coaches wouldn't put him in that position. Stupid man.

Bottom of 7th

* Nick Swisher in right on the pop tries to fool Overbay at first by pretending he can't find the ball in the ceiling for a second - trying to pick up manager Joe Girardi on the failed hit and run double play from the previous inning.

Top of the 9th

* On Granderson's third strike Molina isn't in the catchers box to the left, set up to catch a waist pitch away, and has to reach to his left to catch the ball - called strike three by Home Plate Umpire Jerry Meals.
