Holy Shit...talk about utter failure

I was so nervous 6th inning on watching my beloved Tigers. Jackson running down that ball in the 9th had me jumping up and down in my room. The nerves were like game 7 of the world series and armando rolls a grounder fielded by Cabby throw to first ou... safe! omg I through my lazy boy across the room. Jim Joyce should be fined, suspended, hung, firing squad and and and I'm wired up and seeing red I'm so fucking pissed off right now.

That is what being a fanatic of a team is living and dieing with them every season.

game 7 of the 1992 national league championship series, 10/14/92, the day before my 28th birthday...i was living in pittsburgh and i was deeply invested in pittsburgh sports (from an emotional standpoint)...john mcsherry (the homeplate ump) leaves the game with chest pains and is replaced by some douche whose strike zone was slightly smaller than the official size of a major league baseball...stan belinda comes in to relieve doug drabeck in the 9th inning...stan had no "junk", just a 98 mph fastball that he threw over the plate, you either hit it or you didn't...belinda threw strike after strike, which were called balls (go back and watch the tape if you can find it...it was a fucking joke) after a couple of walks and a sac fly, the bases were loaded...after belinda struck out francisco cabrera (unfortunately, they were all called balls) cabrera gets a hit that scores david justice and a gimped-up sid bream...atlanta wins and during the offseason the dynasty that could have been (drabek, bonds, bonilla, van slyke, et al) was dismantled...and pittsburgh baseball sank into a pit that it has never emerged from...i still feel a pain in my stomach when i think about that series.

human error is part of the game...at least that asshole joyce only made one mistake.
 
Yeah I guess Joyce said he really F--d up, I'll give him credit for that.
Shouldn't they just reverse that game and call it a perfect game? That was the last out (should have been), Cleveland ended up losing 3-0 and did no further damage as only the next batter came up and made an out.
I know they won't, but that's pretty pathetic

lol
 
I must say that Armando Galarraga has to be the calmest, coolest, guy in baseball. How that dude handled that situation with the class that he did, is beyond me. His name was forever removed from MLB history with that fucked up call, something should be done, and get ready for replay in baseball, that was the straw that broke the camel's back.
 
There is instant replay on home runs now. If they start doing it for balls/strikes/safe and what have you the games will turn into a 4 hour fiasco. Baseball is already too long and slow and they're already trying to speed the game times up over the past few years. They're not going to bring instant replay in for safe or out calls. You have to draw the line somewhere.
Sucks for Gallaraga, but he handled it with the utmost class.

Joyces argument at first was he though the ball was either bobbled or snow coned in his glove.

it will never be used for ball and strikes. why not just give each manager 1 challenge for close plays on the bases, and say any play in the 9th will automatically get reviewed?


fair/foul calls will never be able to be reviewed, since it would only work on fair balls. if you call a ball foul, you can't review it. are you going to have the players continue to run out plays when its been called foul? that might work, but then you have to deal with obvious fouls and just say "only run when it is close" and you can't expect players to be running the bases while keeping an eye on whether it is "close enough" to run out or not.
 
of course scumbag bud selig won't overturn the call.

fuckin scumbag loser.

i hate bud selig. the guy is the ultimate shady character

i don't know how he's still commish
 
I think Galarraga is kool as hell.
Awesome.
Also like saying GalaaaRaggga.

Just a kewl name.


Sportsmanship, Yo.

Still, after hallmark moment, that did rawk in these outcome based times, re setting later correct call should have been employed.

totally agree. easy call to overturn. the next play ended the game. i question alot of the recent decisions in pro sports. cushing not losing the rookie of the year because of players 8 to 10 years ago that tested positive and it sets a bad example? no one asked to change the history books from a decade ago, its, in these cases, less than 24 hours and less than a year respectively. sorry ass excuses.

Then every time a bad call has a significant outcome on a game, everyone would be crying for it to be reversed the next day.
Most baseball players that have said anything about it agree with not overturning it, it's just the way the game works.

Is it unfortunate? absolutely

I'd be pissed, I WAS pissed for Detroit!!
Where would it end? If the Mets were playing in a important
game on the road let's say. You're up 3-2 2 outs, bases loaded, 3-2 count,the pitch is right down the middle and the ump shits his pants and calls it a ball. (you've seen it a million times! Umps can suck) After the game, the umpire watches the tape and realizes it was a strike, and apologizes and admits his mistake to the Mets. Then they'd have to reverse that game for the Mets too.
Like I said if they did this, there would be NOWHERE for them draw the line in further instances.

thats the grey area. it would come up all the time in big situations. you are right there. but, when these pro leagues talk about change, and its a culture change for the sport, it has to happen at some point. for baseball, this was the point. for football, cushing was the point. though i agree, it would be pandoras box. shame really. but if change is the goal, then the spark has to start somewhere.

Glad to see you drank bottled water most of your life and understand what I'm trying to say. CW was neglected growing up with tap water. I want to hug him, SB style
