He said it

Chip Caray, play-by-play broadcaster for TBS during the game, on the interference call: "Here is the spot where you really do wish you have replay so the umpires could see the unbelievable acting job that A.J. Pierzynski just turned in. I mean you talk about Academy Award-winning, polish up the statue and mail it to 35th and Shields because A.J. Pierzynski just stole 90 feet on the basepaths and may end up stealing a win in this 10th inning."
