Could there be 3 Perfect games already-Ump screws last out

Joyce will be behind the plate tonight.. I am slowly getting over this, but I hope a bird shits in his face during the game. And some goes in his mouth..

That second one is completely fucking stupid. That guy should have been kicked out of baseball. He cared more about getting on TV than anything to do with his team.

You obviously lack any of the class Joyce, Gallaraga, and the Tigers have.

Few things happen in life that bother me. Not that I'm impervious to tragedies but most shit I could give a fuck about. Like, I don't care that the guy from the single-wide turned down $200,000 to pick another briefcase on Deal or No Deal. I don't give a shit who Jennifer Anniston is fucking this week or how long Brad Pitt's goatee is now. I realize those aren't tragedies but some people really get emotional over that horse shit.

However, this is an injustice to humanity. I mean, this motherfucker threw a perfect game in the Big Leagues. I didn't throw a perfect game in Dixie Youth Baseball....AND I'M FUCKING AWESOME.

What's sad is that millions of baseball fans will bitch about it and they actually have the power to change the call. You could still get it changed within a week. All you have to do is keep your fat, hot dog eating ass at home for 1 single week and boycott the game. If Bud Selig saw every single MLB game this week unattended, he'd reverse that shit.

Think about it...NOLAN GODDAMN RYAN didn't throw a perfect game. More people have seen fucking UFO's than perfect games. Let's be honest. I've seen a unicorn. I've fucked a leprechaun...twice. But I've never personally witnessed a perfect game. I hope Bud Selig gets a phone call from his doctor tomorrow saying that he has AIDS in his face.

So elegantely put

I disagree. Yeah it sucks to have not gotten a perfect game but I think Galarraga comes off looking great from this. Nobody disputes that it was a perfect game (except the boxscore) and the way he handled this (from his reaction to the safe call to his post-game comments to handing the ump the line-up card the next day) makes him look better than he would if he had gotten the out call at the end.

Another thing to keep in mind is the fact that it's looking like this game could lead to unprecedented changes in baseball in regards to instant replay.
In other words, every hard-core baseball fan will know who Armando Galarraga is, where as if the game would have been called correctly, he would just be one of 21 guys.
I think he's gotten a lot more attention/notoriety because it was botched.

My opinion???

Selig is nothing but a complete asshole, for not giving the kid his perfect game.

I dont give a rats ass about precedent, or rule changes, or what should have been, could have been, blah blah blah.

Selig should have taken all of 20 seconds, and given that kid his perfect game.

Bud Selig is a waste of sperm.

I thought it was a real nice moment before the game yesterday. +1 to all involved.

No way it should be overturned. It would set a terrible precedent.

Baseball is great in part because it is a neat game which is played by and officiated by humans who are prone to error... in ways its a throwback to American heritage. Sometimes blown calls happen... also one of the reasons that it is so difficult to throw a perfect game.
I dont think this should change instant replay at all either.

Everyone knows this pitcher deserves a perfect game and has basically given him credit for it. They also now know him as a very classy character and he has a lot more fans now than if he actually threw the perfect game.

edit: Bud Selig is still a douchebag.

well put. I agree wholeheartedly. people always overreact to things in the present rather than looking at the big picture.

I just want this shit to go away...this story has become more annoying than lebron james destination or brett favre's retirement

Hammerdonkey · June 2010

Well, my baby boy (9 years old) goes out tonight and pitches his first perfect game. He was also about 5 feet from hitting a HR.

We won 15-0. Proud day.

Someone alert the Bigs. We're ready.
