Put a fifth Ump upstairs and out of sight and just have him watch the game on a TV. If a call is wrong he buzzes down and tells the crew chief to change it.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00742159228200876688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780276584364604867.post-45536183072369022952010-06-03T22:41:35.899-04:002010-06-03T22:41:35.899-04:00And by imps I mean umps.

I give Joyce a lot of credit for being accountable for his mistake. That doesn't happen a lot in life never mind baseball. BP could learn a lot from Jim Joyce. <br /><br />I said it last week and I will say it again Bud Selig has done more damage to baseball than PEDs. Stop being so stubborn & use instant replay. The players want it. The imps want it. The fans want it. Just do it already.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07243315072384918852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780276584364604867.post-78874514307484064002010-06-03T16:27:18.893-04:002010-06-03T16:27:18.893-04:00Even though it's not officially a perfect game...Even though it's not officially a perfect game, everyone knows it was, and nothing can change that. In fact, it was better than perfect, 28 up, 28 down. It won't be in the record books, but 50 years from now will anyone remember Dallas Braden's perfect game? No! But this is a part of baseball lore forever just like the Pine Tar Game, The Shot Heard Round the World, and Boston's 0-3 Comeback. Baseball is full of quirks, mistakes, characters, and just plain weird stuff. I'm not saying that the ump shouldn't have gotten the call right, but there seems to be a campaign to cleanse the game of any idiosyncracies. We'll remember this one forever, more so than if this journeyman actually got his perfect game.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05548707517391398364noreply@blogger.com
