Depending on which TV broadcast you were watching, Chicago Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro either cost his team a victory by forgetting how many outs there were, or he merely appeared absent-minded and foolish by forgetting how many outs there were. Not much of a choice if you're Castro, whose mind apparently wandered on a potential double play grounder hit by Brandon Crawford that scored Buster Posey with the tying run in the fifth inning. The San Francisco Giants later took the lead and beat the Cubs 3-2 on Monday afternoon . The Cubs broadcasters, whom you heard in the embedded highlight , didn't think the Cubs could turn the double play. They're probably right. The Giants broadcasters, on the other hand, were certain that Castro cost his team a double play. Further, they seemed downright angry with Castro, convinced that he also had just committed a high crime against the grand old game. And, in a way, he did.
