wow that was a bad call...he never did tag him wit the mit He was out by 15 feet. IWU is right. you must tag with the ball, not the elbow. BS. He was out by a good margin and tagged himself out by contact. Let's not get carried away in our paranoia here. The umps don't hate the Cubs. and Theriot was out by a country mile. you're wrong. he tagged him with the elbow. if you have Tivo, rewind and look at it. the throw beat him by plenty. unfortunately for your argument, it doesn't matter how much the throw beats him by, the defense still must apply the tag.
