    Joyce is at least a good ump, but he fucked Galarraga big time.

    CAN THE MLB OVERRULE THIS SHIT? I mean, it was GAME OVER. I think they should.

    Talk about a need for replay in MLB Baseball. Good god only the 21st possible perfect game in MLB History. Ruined by a bad call. A blatantly bad call.

    What a shame.

    I think Leiter was right - Galarraga caught the ball half out of the glove, and Joyce thought he was juggling it. What's amazing to me is that he made a mistake in that direction - I wouldn't have been surprised by an umpire calling anything close the other way because of the situation.

    If nothing else, since the ball clearly beat the runner, it should be an error, and still a no-hitter.

    They really should do something about this...overrule it, or something. This is ridiculous.

    As a Marlins fan, I can't remember Miguel Cabrera ever talking so angrily to an umpire like he did today, he must have been pissed.

    I agree. There's no possible way that can end up a hit.

    Agreed.

    Scorers sometimes change calls after the fact, I wonder if they will do that here.

    Joyce needs to be raped with a pitchfork.

    It's not the same getting the perfect game after the fact. It's still great, but I imagine for the player, half the fun is celebrating with your bros on the field.

    FUCK JOYCE.


    BTW, don't confuse this as me being a Tiger fan, M4P.

    It can't be a perfect game. They can change the ruling and make it an error, which would make it a no hitter.

    Does anyone think Jim Joyce is going to get fired?

    I dig I dig. Still, a no-hitter is the same way. It can't be as fun as getting it right the first time.

    Apparently he didn't get the memo according to those in an AIM TGG chat session.

    Almost no shot at that, but he could get tarred and feathered in downtown Detroit tonight.

    Something needs to happen here. If he isnt fired, he will definitely never ever ump in Detroit ever again.
