First, I've not seen the replays, and want to see them.
Next, I believe you guys, and have no doubt that this was a crap call. But I cannot agree with the idea of a protest or of the Commissioner tampering with this. I don't think the call is subject to protest. My recollection of the rules is such that this isn't something subject to a protest. This Commissioner has screwed enough stuff up, both by action and inaction, we really don't want every play and every call subject to fiat decisions of Commissioners. Come on, guys. Is it a ball or a strike, it ain't nuthin' 'til I call it. There's no crying in baseball. This was a BS call, it's a damn shame... and that's the end of it. And I agree, it is reminiscent of the 1985 World Series. I was laying in the floor, watching my Cardinals. I just starred at the TV in disbelief. I'm sorry for Mr. Galarraga.

I watched it go down live, and it was sickening. Jackson's catch for the first out in the 9th was absolutely ridiculous. The local broadcast team on Fox Sports went nuts. I thought Rick Sutcliffe made a great point tonight on the Cards-Reds game. "The fans attending that game tonight were cheated out of history." So was Armando Galarraga.

It was a bad call, but it should not be overturned by the commissioner. People will remember this game...Armando Gallaraga will be remembered even if he never wins another game. There is human element in baseball and it should remain so. I don't even like that they've added instant replay for homers. I feel sick for that kid who may never pitch another game as good as that one, and I also feel sick for Joyce who will never live this down.

I've now seen the replay... one really bad call.
A call that MLB leaves alone. Dan and Jay are right. I think this isn't subject to protest; and what happens inside the foul lines shouldn't be tampered with by the likes of Mr. Selig, not anyone else who might one day be Commissioner. Last edited by FrankWakefield; 06-02-2010 at 09:20 PM.

Having just watched the replay, I wonder if the first baseman had not cut the ground ball off and let it go through to the second baseman, it might have been an easier play to make. Thoughts?

Bad Call
Jeff,
I thought that myself . Looked like it would have been a much easier play if Cabrera had let the second baseman field it. But as we know from watching TEX field some very hard shots at first base I know its just instinct to go after it and try and make the play.

Perfect Game?
Today's Indians/Tigers game reminds of another "almost"
perfect game: Sept. 3,1972 Chicago Cubs vs San Diego Padres. Cubs pitcher Milt Pappas threw a 3-2 pitch to Larry Stahl that was called ball 4. Pappas insisted the umpire blew the call. Home plate umpire Bruce Froemming insisted he made the right call. For the sancitiy of baseball, the comissioner left the call as is. Hopefully Comissioner Selig also leaves today's call as is. As for all these perfect games, personally I now see them as what a no-hitter once was. This feat has been cheapened. MLB should be renamed MLS (Major League Softball.) ErikV
