It's a judgement call on the umps part whether or not Craig could have scored if he didn't push down on middlebrooks and then trip over him. It is interesting according to the rule once a player has missed a ball he is no longer in pursuit of it and if he is in the way it's interference, so basically if there is a play like that and you just trip or run into the guy, you are automatically safe at home no matter what, seems like originally it was to keep 3rd basemen from slowing down runners on purpose but they made it to where basically it doesn't matter what the instance is. That's the rule nothing you can do about it, you just rarely see it and it figures mr. Jim "sorry I suck and you don't get a perfect game" Joyce was the one to make the call, so now I guess he doesn't spend the night in Detroit OR Boston. lol

As I said I am more upset with the game that John Farrell 'played', so many bad moves in one game. I think that's the worst part, the one guy that should have not started or at least should have been replaced was the one left in the game to K badly a couple of times and throw the ball away at the end to cost the game.
