Peter Bourjos scored from second on a Maicer Izturis single to right field to end what can only be described as one of the wildest April games in MLB history. The Anaheim Angels took the 6-5, 14-inning victory from the Toronto Blue Jays in a game that took five hours and three minutes to play. The lead traded hands five times before settling at 5-5 after four innings. However, nobody could fully crack the bullpens. The game featured the use of 14 total relievers (including Angels starter Dan Haren), four double plays, three outfield assists, a combined 4-for37 with runners in scoring position and 26 runners left on base.

Perhaps the most bizarre of all was the 13th inning. The Jays had two outs in the top half and Adam Lind on third, Yunel Escobar on second and Edwin Encarnacion batting. Encarnacion hit a weak grounder to third baseman Alberto Callaspo. With Escobar running straight down the base line, Callaspo actually hesitated to allow Escobar through, then played the ball, but his throw pulled the first baseman off the bag. All hands were safe, Lind scored and the Jays went up 6-5. But it was not to be. The third base umpire was Bob Davidson, who is notorious for his controversial calls, and he was in top form for this one. He called Escobar out for runner interference, but the replays showed that Escobar had absolutely nothing to do with Callaspo’s (reversed) error. Instead, he became the third out and the game went to the bottom of the 13th still tied at five.

There, the Angels got Bobby Abreu to third and Torii Hunter on first with nobody out. Vernon Wells hit a lazy fly ball to left fielder Travis Snider, who made a spectacular catch, threw the ball back to the infielders, who noticed Hunter standing on second base for some reason. They abruptly doubled him off of first.  Callaspo was then walked intentionally, but he then tried to steal second and purposefully got himself caught in a rundown. During this, second baseman Aaron Hill saw Abreu break for home, threw there and J.P. Arencibia applied the tag to end the inning.

The Twitterverse representing both teams’ fans went nuts. Tweets involving venomous rage for Bob Davidson (who also robbed the Jays of a triple play in the 1992 World Series), lamenting some of the worst baserunning ever seen and the fact that the game just – wouldn’t – end – was rampant. There’s a lot of ownership that needs to be taken care of after this one: the Blue Jays for squandering so many chances (they put runners on base in every inning except the eighth), the Angels for some terrible bullpen management, and Bob Davidson for considering himself to be a major league-caliber umpire. It’s unfortunately that both teams couldn’t take the loss, because neither truly deserved the win.
