Worst call in over 100 years of MLB?

Watch the Tigers on ESPN, judge for yourself.

That ump better feel like an ass when he watches the replay.

That is huge. Would of been a perfect game otherwise.

All I can say is...

I like Galarraga's response...he just smiled...no arguing or pouting.

Really classy.

I initially thought it was close. After a few more viewings I think he was clearly out.

Where is the link?

I watched it live, and the replay was from several different angles. To me, it looked like the throw beat the runner on one replay by a full stride.

The only question I had was: Did he bobble the ball?

I couldn't tell from the replay that I saw on MLB.com, but it looked like there was some glove movement that might have been bobbling.

I'd need to see the front side of the replay.

Rule #1 - Umpires are never wrong.
Rule #2 - When in doubt, refer to Rule #1.

Is this Detroit we're caring about?

Liberals don't care about Detroit?

That was a horrible call at any point in any game.

The fact that it happened on what should've been the final out of a perfect game (a record setting third this season), is both too lame and too damn funny for words.

The ump has already fallen on his sword.
