Yankees' Mark Teixeira Rips Umpires After Blown Call in Loss to Orioles

Baltimore Sun

New York Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira wasn't happy at all with the umpires after the team's loss to the Baltimore Orioles Saturday night in which a blown call happened that showed Teixeira was out though he was clearly safe on a replay.

Teixeira decided to rip on the refs after the 5-4 loss.

"Sometimes you wonder if the umpires are just trying to get out of there," he told ESPN New York. "They don't want you to make a comeback. They want to go home because those were terrible calls. It is what it is. We are out there fighting. I'm out there playing on one leg. I wish it had gone my way."

You can take a look and judge for yourself:

"I'm probably going to get fined," Teixeira said. "But I don't care, really. I'm out there fighting. We are out there fighting. When you are battling like we are battling and they can't get a call right, that pisses you off. It really does."

We'll see if the Yankees can get past this.
