First, I've not seen the replays, and want to see them.
Next, I believe you guys, and have no doubt that this was a crap call.
But I cannot agree with the idea of a protest or of the Commissioner tampering with this. I don't think the call is subject to protest. My recollection of the rules is such that this isn't something subject to a protest. This Commissioner has screwed enough stuff up, both by action and inaction, we really don't want every play and every call subject to fiat decisions of Commissioners.
Come on, guys. Is it a ball or a strike, it ain't nuthin' 'til I call it. There's no crying in baseball.
This was a BS call, it's a damn shame... and that's the end of it. And I agree, it is reminiscent of the 1985 World Series. I was laying in the floor, watching my Cardinals. I just starred at the TV in disbelief. I'm sorry for Mr. Galarraga.
