Game 3: Cards Literally Steal Game--With Umps Help!

Tonight's game was a nail biter all the way. But the finish was stolen from the Sox! The Ump, De Muth (same guy who made that idiot call at second against the Sox in Game 1), called obstruction against Middlebrooks as the Birdos allegedly scored the winning run in the bottom of the 9th, which would make the team from St. Lou the winner--EXCEPT FOR ONE SMALL THING THAT NO-ONE TALKS ABOUT--the Cards baserunner, who was tagged by Salty BEFORE he reached home, NEVER TOUCHED HOME PLATE!! He didn't touch before the tag, during the tag or after the tag. When Salty applied the tag, the runner was over a foot shy of the plate, and after lying there, still without touching the dish, he left the field without touching it. Unless someone can show me a replay with the runner touching the plate, he NEVER SCORED--because one of the basic rules of baseball is to score, YOU MUST TOUCH THE PLATE! So he didn't score because he never touched home! Even with the obstruction call, if you agree with it, he still had to touch and failed to do so. So, in reality, the game should be in the top of the 10th, Sox batting, score still 4-4. This blown call by De Muth is as bad as Don Denkinger's  a number of years ago against the Royals. Definitely NOT the way a World Series game should end, no matter who the winner is.
