I don't follow baseball, but...

even I heard about this ridiculous fiasco!

We all saw the footage, the guy was out!! Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig won't overturn it, because WHY?

Okay, here's what I heard - it's all about this opening up a can of worms...not this game, but other games from the past would be contested, and it could become a nightmare, if they overturn one, they might have to go back and look at a lot of other bad calls made over the years. Where would it end?

Nobody disputes that the guy was out. Even Jim Joyce, the umpire, admitted that he made a bad call! Selig had 24 hours to reverse it, but it doesn't look likely.

Baseball needs to get with the program, take a leap into the 21st century...baseball needs instant replays. For sure. The old timers insist, "We've always done it this way…we don't need those new fangled devices…what worked in 1960, still works today…", but the truth is, there were many bad calls back then, when they didn't have the luxury of instant replay…but now we do, people. Why continue to live in the Dark Ages, when there are electric lights?

It's like insisting that coffee is just as good as espresso! Or typewriters are just as good as computers.

They're not.

Come on, Bud, give Galarraga the Perfect Game!!

(is there a Facebook Group about this yet?)
