Just like the Twins bought the ump that was one foot away from Inge?

There's a human element to the game, umps miss calls, everything happens super fast, deal with it. It's a part of the game. Maybe if the Twins had produced when they had runners in scoring position, or maybe made less bonehead mistakes in the field it wouldn't have gone to extra innings. But they did, paid for it, and the Yanks played better ball and won.
