Did he catch it? Or, did the ball hit the dirt?
Well, yes. And, yes...I guess.
It sure looked like Angels' catcher Josh Paul caught that third strike...but, A.J. Pierzynski ran to first base any way. The umps bought it. And, one batter later, Joe Crede hits a double off the wall. Game over...and the fireworks begin, both over centerfield and in the Angels' dugout.
Sox win 2-1, in what will go into the books as one of the goofiest - and most controversial - ninth innings in post-season history.
As Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said after the game..."I'd rather be lucky than good."
