Wow. If I were Buehrle, I'd be pissed. Then again, we'll never know what would have happened after this if the ump had called the right strike zone.

I can't believe the umpire made that call.
Something that close should go towards the pitcher in Buehrle’s situation. 14.2 perfect innings in a row should not end in this manner.
However, looking at the call on replay, Pierzynski didn't frame the ball well and the pitch looked low because of it.
The Ump shouldn't have to rely on the catcher framing the ball to make the correct call.
I was at Shea for the Felix-Slam!
Personal M's record: 5-4.

I disagree with the favoritism but yes that is clearly a strike

And Buerhle had a generous strike called on a 3-0 pitch in his actual perfect game.
Hey, it evened out!
Also, holy god why do people follow gameday with that camera angle?
