Another Yankees-Orioles postseason home run controversy
What's a Yankees-Orioles playoff game without a controversial play?
Another home run call - this one ruled foul - has impacted tonight's Game 5 of the ALDS. Oriole Nate McLouth's deep fly ball to right was ruled to go just foul by right field umpire Fieldin Culbreth in the sixth inning. The call was eventually upheld by the umpire crew after reviewing video replay.
Subsequent slow-motion replays, however, appear to show the ball grazing the foul pole for a home run that would have tied the game at 1-1.
TBS reporter Craig Sager reported that a Yankee Stadium usher saw the ball hit the foul pole, but that he could not find any yellow paint on the ball -- giving the national media a chance to respond via tweet.

When play was restored, McLouth struck out on the next pitch to end the top of the sixth.
