This is a dumb fricking question no matter how you try to spin it

It's not that dumb a question. I was in my pickup for the start of the game and didn't get back home to a TV until just after this fiasco. The very first image I saw of it (yeah - they were still talking about it 3 innings later) was of the view from the skewed angle - and I was like "WTF? - why is there an offset in the foul line?."

But it did only take a few seconds to realize the 'offset' was due to the camera angle.

So the question was premature - not stupid.
