A creative way to lose a division lead

Finally, I get to give the Gas Can of the Day to Francisco Rodriguez of the Orange County Angels. This award is not the result of his stats but his inability to catch a throw back from the catcher because he was distracted and irritated about a previous call. His nonchalant effort resulted in the ball deflecting off his glove far enough toward second base that Jason Kendall was able to score the winning run from third and give the A's the game and the lead in the AL West.

If you haven't seen the play it's available here.

More useless commentary later...
