[CalvinH]

Who cares,it wasn't a Yankee pitcher.

[Coach is Back!]

Who cares,it wasn't a Yankee pitcher.

It was still history in the making.

[CalvinH]

It was still history in the making.

Still is,just the wrong way!

[FREAKgeek]

It was clearly racist, deny the latino el perfecto. 

[SF1900]

I am arguing about this with someone else. Seriously, who really gives a fuck. Its a kids game played by adults. Move on. So, you didn't get your perfect game! WAAAAHHHHH. Life sucks. I don't know, I am not big into sports, so I don't see the point.

The arument for NOT having Selig overturn it was that Baseball has had various calls questioned and it is part of the history of the game.
If they changed this call they might have to go back considering other close call perfect games as well.
The reality is most of the close call perfect games in the last 100 yrs, didn't have the kind of modern, clear video review we have now.

1. Overturning the call woiuld have no effect on the outcome of the game as the next guy was out and the game over.
2. Change the call and the pictcher gets the perfect game he deserved WITHOUT any negative trade offs.

Selig will go down as an even bigger douche should he fail to do this.

[Grape Ape]

Selig's never done the right thing anyway, so I doubt anything happens.

The point is that it's only been done 20 times in the history of baseball.  And, even more, it would have been the third one this year.

So, if you're a fan or not, it has historical implications on the game.  That's why it's a big deal.

Historical implications for the game of baseball. ::yawns:: Like I said, I am not a fan, so I don't see the big deal.

Now men in thong posing trunks, that's serious business.

What if this play had occured in the first inning?

Bud didnt change it...he has always been the biggest douche commish of all the sports

[Wiggs]

fucked up....Need to be reversed.  Can't do anything about past things but this needs to righted.

[johnnynoname]

it sooo should be overturned

i only needed to read the title of this thread and i already knew what it was about

[The Showstoppa]

Shouldn't overturn it.  human mistakes by umps is part of the game......now if baseball wanted to start using instant replay on them, that would be a different story.

[FREAKgeek]

I agree. The game played for stats is a bit selfish too. It's not like they lost the game either.

[The Ugly]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuck yes.

What was that jackass seeing? He couldn't have been in a better position.

Good point. But that human could not have made a bigger mistake.

[Coach is Back!]

That f-ing idiot Selig isn't going to overturn it

[240 is Back]

yes they should, but I dont think they will.  "purist" and all that BS.

Plus you'll have 500 d-bags coming out tomorrow saying other calls that need to be reversed.

Floodgates and all. I bet die-hards have laundry lists of calls they would want reversed. And what about seeing a game live, then having the outcome changed days later. Cities would burn to the ground.
