double by middlebrooks chased veras. good job by avila to smother that, 2-2. >> tim: and one would think that smyly is in there for one hitter, and that is ellsbury, because victorino is showing no signs of hitting left-handed. i would imagine that he will bring in alburquerque to pitch to victorino regardless of what happens to ellsbury. >> joe: and then the right-handed hitting pedroia, and then ortiz, but they like benoit against the left-handers. >> tim: yes, he will be called upon for a four-out save. >> joe: here tes's the 2-2, and took just down and away, and it is a full count. >> joe: two on, one out. and here he comes. there he goes. and with victorino coming up, the man whose name bends all of the way around his back, al alburquerque comes in with two on and one out in a 5-1 game. tracy calling hemlock holmes. go ahead, tracy. elroy, you're a genius. a regular chip off the old block. it's morphin' time. go, go power rangers.

this was the highlight of the play that decided the game--the throw to third gets by middlebrooks. the umpire made the call of interference against red sox's third baseman will middlebrooks in the bottom of the ninth. that call allowed allen craig to score the winning run in the cardinals' 5-4 victory against the red sox. game 4 is today in st. louis. but they'll be talking about this play that decided game three. >> both bay area teams in action today. the niners are in london to take on the winless jacksonville jaguars this morning at wembley stadium in london. it's a ten a-m kickoff. and raiders are back after the bye. they face the pittsburgh steelers this afternoon at the oh-dot-co coliseum kick off is at 1:05 p-m. your forecast and much more, coming up i love watching tv outside. and why can you move the tv out here? the wireless receiver. i got that when i switched to u-verse. but why? because it's so much better than cable. it's got more hd channels, more dvr space. yeah, but i mean, how did you know? i researched. no, i-i told you. no. yeah! no. the important part is that

for the most part you see guys like middlebrooks and drew and johnny, there's so many guys out there that may not be starting on other teams and we wake up and suddenly, you know, the best relief pitching i've seen. he wasn't that good a year or two ago. one of these weird things where everything clicked this year. >> certainly one of the most surprising teams i think ever assembled because of the component parts. johnny gomes, koji uehara, the relief pitcher -- >> who was average at best two years ago. inhe had a couple of good years. not last we're. signed as a free agent. with the texas rangers last year. he has been unhittable since july. it's where they came from. it's the fact that you don't have, with the exception of ortiz, you don't have any huge recognizable superstar names on that roster. >> answer the question, though, victorino's grand slam, beat a team we shouldn't have beaten. they out pitched us. they had bad coaching. pitchers were lights out. but, that ortiz grand slam that brought the sox back after they basically had a no hit for two games, that will go down -- it

interference with middlebrooks at third. you can't stop watching. it's like watching a train wreck. >> let me see it again. >> joe carter to sort it out. interference? >> if you're a boston red sox fan, you're saying absolutely that was bad call. you're saying it's the actual rool book says that is the correct call. whether or not he intended to interfere with the runner, he interfered with the runner, therefore, it's obstruction. he impeded his progress from third base towards home plate. we haven't seen something like this happen in a long time. this is the first time we've ever seen anything like this happen in a world series. and so it happens in the bottom of the ninth. the runner is trying to advance. he gets tripped up. the umpire at home plate sees the third base umpire called the obstruction rule. so basically what happens is will middlebrooks is flat on his stomach. he tries to go towards home plate. that would have been the game winning run. he was unable to run fully to home plate. so, therefore, it's obstruction call and therefore they

for middlebrooks, unfortunately he was right there. there was contact. so, he could not advance to home plate naturally. >> tough way to have a game end, particularly of this significance, when will is trying to dive inside to stop the throw when craig trips over him, i guess by the letter of the rule, you could say it's obstruction but that's a tough pill to swallow. >> intentional or not intention. he just has to clear the path. i know sometimes it's unfair because he is laying on the ground but that's the way the rule is. >> now, the n.f.l. was interested in becoming the global phenomenon that the nba has become. to that end, several teams are playing games in london each season and as lee we willings tells us, one n.f.l. is upping the ante across the pond. >> the n.f.l. has a significant fan base in england and increasingly, england is appealing to the biusinessmen wo own sports franchises, the jacksonville jaguars have signed up to play one game a year in london until 016, the latest against the san francisco 49ers. their owner wants to build a gian

craig would have scored on the play were it not for what will middlebrooks did. it leads you into the next conversation about intent. was he intending to obstruct the runner and the great thing about the rule is it does not matter. it is incumbent on him to get out of the way. how can he possibly get out of the way, lying on the ground. easy answer, catch the ball. as soon as you failed to catch the ball you are at fault, same thing in hockey, it's the same thing in football as well. he hit the receiver across the middle in the head, they say hey i didn't mean to hit him in the head. too bad, it's incumbent on you. >> even though the salks wound up winning the last game when they picked off the guy at first base could this have been a pivotal point, could this be the decision that makes a difference in this series? do you think that the st. louis cardinals, randy l now go on to win because of that play because the momentum shifted in some secret baseball way even if they lost the game the following night? >> no, i'm a big devotee of the adage that momentum in bas
