Could Some One Clarify The Strike Zone?

As most of you who have read my posts, know I am a homer! I love the Red Sox no doubt. So please don't take this as a rant or an excuse.
But what was home plate umpire Brian Gorman looking at last night...clearly about 12 pitches to both the Red Sox and Indians were AWFUL calls!
Travis Hafner had two pitches called strikes that hung off the plate, and Coco Crisp had a pitch that should have been ball four, about 1 foot off the plate, called a strike.
Almost anytime a batter went 0-2, the next pitch regardless was a ball, and almost every batter that went 3-0, it was called a strike. And if you don't believe me, find a friend who has TIVO, and go through the game like I just did, and see for yourself.
It was horrendous! I would have to say, however, the plays in the field were called great! The DP the Indians turned in the first, was clearly an out, and on the DP the Red Sox almost turned in the 5th, Hafner was safe.
It's just sad to see poor pitch calls at the plate...I mean even Tim McCarver saw it, and frankly that's a miracle in itself!
I will say however, the Indians once again took advantage of their opportunities, and did things when they needed to.
Been a good series so far and I hope my Red Sox can knuckle up here and do a bit better!
