Jerry Meals is an asshole, that is all. Honestly, can't Selig fire umpires or at least suspend them for **** like this? Joyce apologized like crazy so I'll forgive him, but **** like this and Joe West's continued existence is just screaming for something.

I think the ump just wanted the game to end. That has been a very well played series so far. Shame that the second game had to end like that.
From Buster Olney:
"@Buster_ESPN Buster Olney
At the moment he called Lugo safe, had Lugo actually touched the plate, after being tagged out twice?

Unfortunate way to win. Thanks for the gif Hines. Typical umps messing up a game badly.

There is no excuse for the umpire hurting a teams playoff chances just because he wants to go home.

He got tagged twice, didn't touch the plate and was called safe. Cool.

It's not like it was a ticky tacky call either. Lugo was out by ******* 6 feet.

If this happened in September, then I would agree with this, but there are still 61 games left. If the Pirates miss the postseason by one game, then you obviously have to look back at this.

Does anyone have video of the reactions afterward? That call was absolutely terrible, i'm actually laughing at how bad that was.

I'm lost of words right now. I wished Hurdle would have clocked Meals right in the jaw. I wouldn't have blamed him and would have petitioned to get his fine paid for.

A game right now is the exact same as a game two months from now. If the Pirates fall out of it, fine. But this is still absurd.

You can't blame him. Lugo clearly has no idea how big this is, he just got done playing 7 hours. Obviously there is going to be talk about his honesty on tv, but what do you expect him to say.

He knows when to lie. I feel so bad for you Seth, that call was the worst I have ever seen.
By the way, why the **** didn't Hurdle use Hanrahan?

The state of Georgia really likes to give a big "**** you" to Pittsburgh.

Yeah, the time of the year still does not make this excusable.

I guess to save him in a save situation. I don't agree with it, but meh.

Beltran to the Rangers? How many years does he have left on his deal? I dunno if I like the thought of him as a rental. ...and the fact that the Rangers are pretty careless about giving away young talent.
