Remember how the crazy inning ended?  It was a Ryan Howard ground out.  I think that home plate umpire Brian Gorman got so tired from the long inning he forgot what was a ball and what was a strike.  So, of course Howard had to swing.

Here's the MLB.com Gameday from that at bat.  Remember: a RED ball is what was called a strike.  A GREEN ball is what was called a ball.
