Hot corner

Quote: "Yeah, get the call right. But do it right away and don't let us get off the field. I've never seen it before. Never ever seen it anywhere. Little League, American Legion, girls softball, anywhere." - Tampa Bay manager Larry Rothschild on the reversal of an umpire's call on the game's final out Wednesday night, forcing Baltimore and the Devil Rays to come back out onto the field. Tampa Bay finally defeated the Orioles, 4-3.
