If the Cards can't win the series the Umps will give it to them.

yes those darn rules. all wrong. have been for 134 years.
right call or not the rule is flawed if a guy is trying to field a throw and ends up on the ground in a bang/bang play and the runner trips over him when he can't get out of the way, the umpires over shadowed a good game.

Blaming umps when your team loses is immature a best and richly deserving of red thumbs.
They're human, and humans make mistakes.
GET OVER IT!

Overall, MLB umpiring skills have declined over the past few years. I don't know if training is not as good or these guys are "rushed" to the Majors before they have enough time to really hone their skills.
Jim Joyce is one of the worst umpires I've ever seen, but applying the letter of the obstruction rule as it is written, Joyce made the correct call.
I don't care which team wins the WS, but it is too bad that any game, let alone a WS game, has to end on a controversial obstruction call.
Well it didn't help that he stuck his legs up to trip him, LOL. He did it purposely and got caught. I don't blame him, he had to do whatever it t00k to win. If he doesn't trip Craig he scores easily. Of course intent has nothing to do with it because you can't impded the runners progress period, intent or no intent. Good call and the correct call.
