Dumb Luck

It's been this kind of a week for the Red Sox.
J.D. Drew appeared to hit a 3-run home run in the first inning but umpires blew the call and only one run scored. Here's what happened.
With David Ortiz on second base and Manny Ramirez at first, Drew lined a Jose Contreras pitch high to left-center. The ball clearly struck the wire ledge that sits just below the Monster Seats but the umpires didn't signal home run. The White Sox threw home where Ramirez wasn't running hard because he thought he saw the ball go out for a homer. He was called out for the third out, ending the inning. Ortiz scored and the Sox grabbed a 1-0 lead.
Terry Francona vehemently argued the call and was ejected by Tim McClelland.
