i'm old school baseball - don't like the replay idea. missed/wrong calls are a part of the human element. i really don't like it in football either, i think it absolutely ruins the flow of the game more than all of the commercial TOs.

I personally do not like the idea of replay. But if MLB does decide to use it, I think it should be for questionable HR calls only. Everything else would disrupt the game too much. Games take too long as it is. You can't look at every close call.
Why don't they consider using 6 umpires all season, like they do in the playoffs?

I'd use it every pitch, I think the goal should be 5 hour games and to see which hand Wedgie scrathes his face with.

Yeah, Mortimer think about what Scav said. As horrid as he has been this year, J-honey has double the home run total of Hafner and Martinez combined. Derrek Shelton has formed a well-oiled offensive machine here. Trot Nixon was Ruthian compared to this group.

I caught the 7th or 8th inning on the ratty-o last night......The rocket armed left fielder inning. Our announcer sounded just like Bob Uecker.





" And there's a solid single to left......runner from second trying to score...Dellucci's throw isn't even close....and the batter goes to second. Unbelievable.


Next batter also singles to left............and Dellucci isn't going to throw anybody out on this one."



It was pretty pathetic.
