It was outstanding. I do feel for Joyce, a lot more than I did last night
it's pretty cool how many players have come to his defence ... just goes to show that if you are a good guy and you do the right things ... you'll always be respected ...
eh cliffy who cares ..the world champs are up at bat
switched over as soon as the umps came out and galarraga went back to the dugout

Agreed, I would venture to guess if Joe West made this call, the reaction would not be the same.

Yeah and you can really tell Joyce cares about baseball and the integrity. He honestly thought he was making the right call, and for that I commend him. That's ballsy in that spot.

Yeah, I was pretty hard on the guy last night but the way he has handled hit is stand up. He could have just siad i blew it, it happens. He really cared and was hard on himself. Gotta give the guy credit.

best two things to come out of this:
1. the support joyce is getting from ball players
2. the fact that galaragga in a moment could have been excused for behaving selfishly - he took the high road ... you don't get many opportunities in life to show your true colours ...

It really has been cool the way it has gone down. I mean, galaragga grinned at him when he initially made the call even instead of immediately blowing up...that says a lot to me because I would've gone ape shit if dude had just taken a perfect game away from me. Like he said, he knows he pitched a perfect game and he can show it to his son even if its not in the record books as such.
I do hope people will leave Joyce alone and let it be. It's over and done. He messed up, he's sorry and he's done everything he could possibly do to show it....it takes a real man to stand up like that when it would be easier to run away and avoid it
All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow
They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

everyone involved has been classy...now, if selig can remove his head from his ass...ah who am i kidding? :roll:
thats sets a precedent- i dont think they should be chasnging calls.
maybe change the replays rule and all that - but no changing calls. thanks very much .
For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside

exactly, it's a damn shame, but you can't reverse the call.
And I'm not so sure I'm happy about instant replay either, I think it takes away from the fact that it's a game and it's human's playing and human's officiating it.

I agree 100%.
baseball arguments are great...replay would eliminate them.

I hate replay in all sports
100% disagree, these "arguments" take away from the sport. I could understand, like, balls and strikes, but when it's something like this, which took Galarraga's name from the record books, MLB should have a responsibility to get the call right. Hopefully this'll cause them to implement instant replay.

I love seeing managers come out of the dugout and make asses of themselves. It's been part of the game going back to jon mcgraw. I don't know how that takes away from the game.
why have umpires if every close call is gonna be reviewed? I hate replay...the nhl and nfl still get half their reviewed calls wrong. replay sucks...especially for baseball

Yeah, it's a lot like the grand old tradition of letting umpires screw up and not doing anything to correct it when you can. Arguing doesn't take away from the game...but missed calls like the one last night damn sure do.
I do love the arguments and the managers making asses of themselves as much as the next guy, but to stubbornly stand by a call that was obviously made in error when it affects the history of the game in such a big way makes absolutely no sense to me. We're talking about something that has only happened 20 times in the history of the game here....what is really being preserved by not giving the guy proper credit for his perfect game?

fay vincent was ok with setting the precident of taking away no hitters years after the no hitter occurred?
