When ever he is behind the plate for the White Sox it is a given that Ozzie will be ejected and the Sox will love. Must be that Dan Iassogna hates any team that has the word sox in its name.

However, there are guidelines for a strike- over the plate, between the letters and the knees. So it's clear where the error was made yesterday. And we would like to avoid having Moss play first until he gets more familiar with the position...in Pawtucket. He'd work in a pinch, but they would prefer for that not to occur.

If he threw Iwamura out, he'd have had to throw Lugo out as well, and the Sox might have been in deep shit if they ended up with no infielders on the bench. Although I definitely agree on the perfect-pitch part. It did occur to me, though--is the ball actually in the strike zone, depth-wise, in that screencap? Linday, I’d disagree.

That umpire got me so pissed off last night! First off, he should have thrown Iwamura out for arguing earlier in the game, and that would have erased his homerun, and then he called that damn pitch a ball! grrr. Definately a PERFECT pitch.
