This just happened at the Phils game.

Pitcher Moyer up to bunt over Ruiz who led off the inning with a walk.

Moyer bunts, Pirates pitcher and catcher converge on the ball.

Catcher bumps the pitcher as he's going to throw, his throw sails over 1st basemens head.

Moyer rounds 1st and runs right into the 1st base ump, knocking him flat.

Throw goes to 2nd to try to nab Moyer as Ruiz pulls into third.

Throw to second is bad, off second basemans glove into left.

Moyer goes to third, Ruiz scores tying the game.

Then Rollins drives in Moyer with a simple sac fly.

Phils take a 2-1 lead.

GAH!

The ump gettin run down was kinda funny tho.

This was a great game up until it started. We tailgated, got our bobbleheads, and gave Jane Jarvis some well deserved applause.

After that, it was all downhill....

[Guest KC]

Great tailgate, the Diamond Knights have the party thing down for sure.

I felt bad for Jane, she deserved much more roar. Hell, we were talking
about the Mets' HOF -- she deserves a bust -- someone start a web-site;
inductjanenowdotcom.

Good day for amenities and hellos; lousy day for baseball.

Watch the replay. They interview Jane around the fourth. For a genuine musician uncerimoniously dumped (at least, I don't remember a ceremony) so some hack DJ could play "Old Time Rock 'n' Roll," she was 100% class.
