He's the Met who was coming around third and heading home to score the go-ahead run against the Dodgers in the top half of the 11th inning of their game Monday night. Except that the guy, according to the Dodgers and the third base umpire, did not touch third. Church was out. That kept the score tied until the bottom of the 11th, when the Bastard Brooklyn Dodgers won it. (Because we're talking about Major League Baseball here, I can't embed any video because MLB pulled down the YouTube video. You'll have to click on this post's title to go to the Mets' website to see the embarrassing blunder.)
I could excoriate Church for such a fuck-up, but geez, it happens. When you're running face to beat the throw home, you don't actually look down to make sure you touch third when you know you automatically touch third every single time you round the corner. Everybody should allow you a mistake like that, say, once a season.
But are Mets fans reasonable? Hell no.
Poor bastard.
