If you think McLouth hit a home run - I respect that -
The home run doesn't change who won the game.
If this makes you happy go for it:
Yankees 3
Orioles 2

You can not do that. You can not just add a run assuming the game plays out that way. Who knows what happens if its 1 to 1. Maybe Baltimore wins, maybe the Yankees win 15 to 1. We dont know.
Its like when somebody gets thrown out stealing and the next pitch is a homerun and people say "that would have been a 2 run homer." How can you say that? The pitcher's thought process is different, the pitch he throws may be different, and the batter is thinking different. Hell, just the 10 second delay for the steal may cause the pitcher to throw the ball different even if he still thinks exactly the same and throws the same pitch.
You listened to it on 880? I can't imagine how Sterling and Susan called that play. I would imagine Sterling let you know 20 seconds after the hit it was called foul and said nothing else. The two of them are terrible. I used to hate Kay. Still don't like him but he is better than he used to be.
