A-Rod deserved a 15-yard penalty

I mean, it was a deliberate foul, the way he slapped the ball out of Arroyo's gloved hand in the 8th inning. Every camera angle showed it. Joe Torre should have been ejected. The New York fans should have been ejected. I don't remember seeing a platoon of cops ready to restore order after a baseball game. Sheesh! Tomorrow night - er, tonight - will be the seventh game of the ALC Series, the first time a baseball team has ever come back from 3 - 0 to force a seventh game. Boston has the momentum. Boston is going to take it.

I was really impressed that TWICE the umpires made the wrong call, then got together, discussed, and then made the right call. Without instant replay like football. Do they have a radio so they can hear the announcers say "they messed that call up." How do they get together and change it??
