UMP's missed call costs Rangers!!

The Rangers lost a tough one Sunday to the White Sox, after the field ump blows call on amazing diving catch by Rangers manager Billy FInnigan in left, who sprawled out and made a diving catch in the gap. The ump said he didn't call it an out, because Billy didn't "celebrate" the catch. When the Rangers manager complained, the ump told him he didn't want to reverse the call because the other team would be angry so "let's just let it slide". The inning wouldve been over, but a couple bloop hits and another missed call on a ball hit down the line in right field cost the Rangers SIX RUNS!! The Rangers didnt give up though, chipping away and finally scoring 5 runs in the 9th inning to tie the game!! With no arms left to pitch other than stud Wylie Bryant, who was battling a bad ankle, the Rangers lost on a walkoff wild pitch with 2 outs in a heartbreaker.
