Ump didn't have anything to do with Carpenter being thrown out at the plate ON A FORKING SINGLE TO CENTER FIELD-- wasn't even close
Ump didn't throw a right down the middle of the plate straight fastball on the 2nd pitch to a Sox player who promptly hit it over the Green Monster in the 9th inning
Ump didn't throw a hanging slider that was hit to the wall with the RISP in the 9th inning
Ump didn't botch the relay to the plate that should have at least resulted in an extra innings game
Did the ump have a by guess and by golly strike zone?--- yep
Did the by guess and by golly strike zone lead to extra men on in the 9th?-- yep
The Cards choked--- give the ump an assist but the Birds just could not close the game out
