A single? You gotta' be kidding me

Top of 3rd -- How is it things start so well and go south so quickly? Talk about a bizarre play. What the heck were the umpires waiting for when Javy hit the ball over the fence? Erstad deserves an Emmy for staying on the ground -- pretending he actually caught the ball. It worked! -- but only because the umpires were ordering cotton candy from the vendors. How long does it take to signal a home run? 5 seconds? 10 seconds? Half an hour?

Of course I'm referring to Tejeda running back and allowing Javy to pass him. The result being a single hit out of the park, but only one run on the scoreboard and Lopez called out. So instead of a 2-1 lead, the score was only tied.

Now what at first looked like a questionable call at the plate gives the Angels at 2-1 lead. The replay seems to show the ump make the correct call. It's a good thing he already got his fill of cotton candy in the bottom half of the 2nd inning.
