Angels Baseball and Lost, episode 4

This was the first time I've ever been pissed off at a baseball game. I've been depressed (such as when Vinateri kicked that winning field goal against the Rams), nervous (the entire series against the Yanks), and happy (the 2002 World Series), but today....damn.

Blown call by the ump. Big time. Thoughts of "Black Sox" all over again (unfair as it may seem). What happened? Well, Pierzynski swung at an Escobar pitch, and missed. Strike 3, right? 'cept the home plate ump thinks it hit the ground. After Paul, the catcher, had rolled the ball, and all the Angels were walking back to the dugout! He couldn't blow the call immediately; no, he had to wait. So of course, Pierzynski made it to first base and Escobar, obviously shaken by the whole thing, gives up a game-winning double to Crede.

*sigh* So now the series is tied, 1-1. How does this affect the Angels? We'll see...

Anyway, Lost! Totally Hurley-centric episode. Even the ep. title "Everybody Hates Hugo" reflects this. Some random thoughts:

*** SPOILERS HO! ***

* Sawyer gets hit by a girl. Again. Heh. Seems like he's moved on from Kate, though...hmmm.
* Nice dream sequence for Hurley with Daniel Dae Kim speaking English. Oh, wait, it's Hurley speaking Korean!
* Kate, Kate, Kate. Jack walks in on you showering, and you stand there and flirt, and "drop" your bra. Riiiight.
* Locke sure knows his way around assault rifles.
* Chernobyl? So maybe something melts down if they don't push the button?
* Poor Sun. I wanted to yell at the TV to tell her that Jin is still alive.
* No real progress. Except it appears that the tail section people are already dying off...
