I have been watching game 4 and I feel ashamed of MLB.When even the Philly announcers are voicing their disgust at the umpires then there is something wrong with baseball.tampa and Philly are both great teams and do not deserve this.We are given a run to start on a play where our runner at third was clearly out but ruled safe.Several Rays have struck out on calls not even close to the zone.Several of our guys are getting extra strikes because pitches that are replayed are certain strikes and ruled balls.I am glad that we will be world champs but very sad for MLB and the Phillies that it is accomplished like this.I refuse to watch any more of this series.I am a fan of good honest baseball not this.With all the comments by the announcers about crooked calls against Rays I would not be surprised that MLB has this umpiring crew investigated.

Haven't checked on the game in about an hour or so, but yeah that sucks!! Didn't Nascar officials have something better to do tonight?

Aww suck it up and watch.

This team has only had 6 chances to win it all in 126 years, and they only came through once.

Nothing in the world can take my eyes off game five tomorrow!

Yes Rollins was out. But what about Baldelli striking out? Calls go both ways....as a fan of any Philly sport you know we generally get the calls agst us it seems. Human error is part of the game. I for one am no fan of instant replay. Sure it hurts when the call goes agst you but to me that is part of the game. Think the Rays were getting the short end of the stick because Navarro was complaing to the ump. Getting the wrong end of the call did not lose them the game... Pena and Longoria not hitting is what is costing them.
