    I have nightmares about the Mets getting screwed like this for their first perfect game.
    Jam out with your clam out.

    Sorry dude, just horrible.

    The thing is, while it will not be in the record books, you know he pitched a perfect game, Galarraga knows he pitched a perfect game, Joyce knows he pitched a perfect game, both teams know he pitched a perfect game and everyone watching knows he pitched a perfect game. I consider it a perfect game, even though Selig is jackass and it won't be on record.

    Yeah- it's just one of those rare times where it sucks to be a sports fan. Detroit has never had a perfect game, and people here live for the Tigers. It seems like no matter who you root for, everyone knows Galarraga got hosed.

    Btw- look at the face of the kid who hit the botched ball. He runs across first, puts his hands on his head as if to say, "Oh well, good job." Then he sees that he was called safe, and the look on his face was like he knew he was out, and didn't even want anything to do with being on that ball field.

    I hear you, man. I doubt Tigers fans have ever been so upset about a win. It's bullshit but the dude pitched a perfect game.

    I noticed that. I am pretty sure he put his hands on his head when he called him safe.

    Absolutley inexcusable. How in the world if you are that ump do you call him safe on a close play (it wasn't even close though, he was clearly out) with a perfect game on the line, how? Would be nice to have it overturned, but really what good would it do, this dumbass ump completely killed the moment, and more than likely his career.

    Seriously, someone has to investigate if this Jim Joyce has a record of being a racist of some kind. He is a thief!

    He appologized to Galarraga after the game and Armando just gave him a hug.

    Joyce: "I just cost that kid a perfect game," Joyce said. "I thought he beat the throw. I was convinced he beat the throw, until I saw the replay. It was the biggest call of my career."

    Galarraga: "He really feels bad," Galarraga said. "He probably feels more bad than me. Nobody is perfect. I give a lot of credit to that guy. That (an apology) doesn't happen. He apologized. He feels really bad. Nobody is perfect. What am I gonna do? His body language said more than a lot of words. His eyes were watery, he didn't have too say much. His body language said a lot."

    It'll be interesting to see if he sticks around for the game tomorrow.
    I think there will be boos until the crowd gets horse.

    Yeah, but one still wonders. Nobody is perfect. I know.

    That might be the single most heartbreaking (non injury) event I've seen on a sports field...

    Jim Joyce's recognition of his miss - and the degree to which he missed it ("from here to the wall") is another reason for the Commissioner to intervene. Who would be hurt by him doing so? The Indians? The Tigers? The integrity of the game? The Umpires, or this Umpire? Listen to this and tell me "this umpire".

    And if you say no safe or out call has ever been appealed, or overturned, that's patently false. There were rules interpretations involved that do not apply here, but in both the 1908 Merkle Game and the 1983 Pine Tar Game, game-ending "out" calls by prominent, gifted umpires were reviewed in agonizing detail by League Presidents. And in the case of the Pine Tar Game, the "out" call that ended the game was reversed and the game replayed from the point of the umpire's mistake.

    I do not have faith in Bud Selig making a right decision... Ever...
