This was the scene at Turner field on Friday night. If you're familiar with sports, you have probably seen the replay of the controversial call during the one-game Wild Card playoff game between the Braves and the Cardinals more times than you can count. And even if you're not that familiar with the rules of baseball, you still can't believe what you saw.
Don't even try to make sense of this, because it just defies everything you've ever learned in your entire life. To make a call like this, an "infield fly" call, when the ball is very clearly past even shallow left left, is just plain absurdity.
This could have been a bases loaded situation for the Braves with one out and Brian McCann coming to the plate. Instead, there were two outs, with the should-be runner on first sitting in the dugout, while McCann looked towards the field as beer bottles and trash reigned down from the entire stadium. Its a disgusting sight to see, but I can understand the fans' frustrations. But, come on, guys, Chipper Jones' last game and this is how you act?
Any way you slice it, the ridiculous call did account for some entertainment in the Twittersphere.
