Doug Padilla: Orioles' Stooge-like play
There was no escaping the Baltimore Orioles' blunder from Sunday as multiple sports shows replayed it over and over again on a television in the Angels' clubhouse Monday. Javy Lopez hit a home run over the outstretched arm of the Angels' Darin Erstad but then passed Miguel Tejada on the basepaths and was only awarded a single. Erstad said he was fine after the play, although he could have sustained multiple injuries from crashing into the wall and nearly turning his left ankle when he fell on the warning track. Orioles manager Sam Perlozzo said both Lopez and Tejada were to blame for being careless. Angels manager Mike Scioscia refrained from finding fault. "That was just a victim of circumstances like the (Three) Stooges would say," Scioscia said. "I didn't see what transpired." All he had to do was look at a television.
