An Outrage

The umpires just gave the Angels-White Sox game to Chicago in one of the worst calls in playoff history. That a home plate umpire could (correctly) call a strike and an out and then reverse himself after the Angels leaving the field, letting the White Sox batter take first, is inexplicable. That the umpires didn't consult and then right the wrong is even more inexplicable.

There's no guarantee how the game would have ultimately ended, but this must surely rank as one of the worst blown calls in postseason history.
