The thing that REALLY pisses me off about this.... well..... one of the many things that really pisses me off is that if this was CC Sabathia pitching in Yankee Stadium or someone of that caliber for a big team the call would have been overturned by the time SportsCenter went on the air. But, since this kid's unknown and on a team that 'doesn't matter' (no offense to Tigers fans, this is coming from an Astros fan - we are the definition of not mattering) it stands.

The call wouldn't have been overturned for CC because the ump would have called the runner out in the first place without question for one of the bug name pitchers.

Well, yeah, that too. But you get my drift.

I stopped watching MLB when I realized that different Umps have 'Their own strike zone'.........................

I got so tired of hearing, "Well, Maddox should do well tonight because dipshi*s (ump) strike zone is down and away."

Like it's supposed to be part of the game...............

The strike zone is defined in the rules. It's a joke. In MLB, the best team rarely wins.......

See folks are ready to lynch Jim Joyce, he had to shut off his home phone and hide out from calls n death threats.

See Jim Joyce is from Toledo, problem is the only Jim Joyce listed in the Toledo phone book is the wrong one. Dude was just on the news n all shaky over it.
His address is all over facebook n crap but its the wrong one.

folks are heated over this still

Damn. That totaly sucks.

I don't blame him for the call. I blame the doggmatic 'purists' and MLB for not allowing the perfect game that should have been.

Well, I actually don't gad anyway, baseball lost me a long time ago.
