Replay

How's about this? I was going to make this my Friday post, but I absolutely had to skip it ahead to today. Why is replay not more implemented in sports!?

Poor Armando Galarraga.

Poor Detroit Tigers.

Neither have had such a pitching performance in their histories. And what happened. Blown call that couldn't be reversed by replay.

Thank you Jim Joyce.

Could be the worst call since we started filming sports.

The only positive that could come out of this is a big one, however. We see time after time in sports, referees and umps alike, making bad/poor calls.

They're human. They make mistakes. Why can't we accept a little humility and bring replay more into sports? This is pathetic trying to "preserve" sports integrity by not adding such technology and "help" to teams. That's complete baloney/bologna (whichever makes you happier) because sports have evolved so much even in the past 15 years. We need to evolve our referring and judging of these games.

This is what is infuriating me today.
