Lohud agrees with me:
Umpire crew chief Bruce Froemming spoke to a pool reporter and said no consideration was given to stopping the game because of the bugs.
"No, because it was just a little irritation," he said. "Within about 45 minutes, basically, they were gone."
Tell that to Joba Chamberlain, who was surrounded by the bugs when he gave up the tying run in the 8th inning.
"They bugged me but you've got to deal with it," said Chamberlain, who allowed two walks, hit a batter and threw a wild pitch during the infestation. "They were bad."
They were "midges" by the way. They are a sort of mosquito that breeds on Lake Erie in warm fall weather and drift inland on air masses. It was 81 at game time, which apprently created perfect weather for midges.
So the Yankees season could be lost and Joe Torre fired because of bugs. Perfect.
