me too. I watched that and felt sick, im am also watching the yankee game and i just don't care about baseball right now, its so disgusting to see an umpire take the one thing that will make him remembered in baseball and throw it away. Its a sad day for baseball, i would be embarrassed if i was an umpire in the sport. They are the worst officiating crew in sports. He was clearly out and you give him the benefit of the doubt in a situation like that. Why would you ever call him safe when its that close. Armando Galarraga will never pitch a game like he done tonight.

plenty of games have been decided by bad/good calls. I'm also sure plenty of people have lost records due to it.

when it comes to something like a perfect game, it has only been done like 20 times in the long long history of the game......26 major league hitters come up, and you dont hit, walk, give up a hit or have any errors.....and 1 more comes up.....and the umpire blows a call that tball umpires make on a "clock work" like basis.....to ruin history, a perfect game....PERFECT.....that doesnt happen often. not even close bro.

its not about the game, yeah bad calls happens all the time in all sports, but nothing like this. The guy could have achieved something only 20 people have done before, one of the rarest thing in baseball and it was taken away from him on horrible call. They guy pitched the game of his life, for nothing

a perfect game is huge yes, this is a large mistake yes, but stating it only happens in baseball? There are other large consequences in other sports, take boxing, people have died because the ref didn't make the "right call" so to speak. It happens, no reason to go over the deep end about it.

well talk down gallarraga because I'm sure he's right there with you.....

he already jumped.............****in jim joyce

I don't think that all umpires are inherently bad. But this call was pretty awful. MLB umps are better than this.

I could see the game being appealed and overturned, especially based on the fact that the game ended with the next batter. The guy was clearly out.

This year they have been awful.

And it wasn't even close, too. He was clearly out. What the hell was he thinking?

NBA refs are worse.

The pitcher isn't crying about it, and neither should we. The ump admitted the mistake.

The baseball commish should make an exception and award this kid the perfect game. MLB is ALL about history and this could go down as one of those rare and unique moments where the MLB broke tradition and did something dramatic.

My money is on Selig doing nothing.. Which is exactly why I went from being a die hard baseball fan 10 years ago to someone that could care less today.. Heck back in the day I almost considered baseball superior to the NFL, but luckily I had some guy by the name of Marino to watch.

It's not just a regular mistake, though. This was a PERFECT game on the line. Something has to be done.

why does everyone capitalize PERFECT lol

It sucks that Galarraga's perfect game got ruined by a blown call but the only thing that is going to come of this is more possible instant replay usage in the future, not just for HRs.

MLB isn't going to do anything about this, nor should they. Yeah it sucks the ump blew the call and cost the kid a perfect game but blown calls have happened before and will continue to happen. They can't go back and change a decision because it leads to a slippery slope of why should this be overruled and not a play like what happened in the 1985 World Series with Don Denkinger in what cost the Cardinals the WS title or why not over turn the 1996 play with the Orioles and Jeter's 'HR' that a fan reached over and caught.

Bottom line is people are going to yell and scream about this for another few days and then in 2 weeks forget all about it.

I do give a lot of respect to Galarraga who handled the situation extremely classy.

This situation was unique. There were two out in the bottom of the ninth and the third out was recorded, which should have ended the game and resulted in a perfect game.

There was no other possible outcome after the out was made. In those other cases mistakes were made, but not on the last play of the game.. If the Indians came back and won the game then the scenario would be impossible to overturn, but in this case Selig should do the right thing and award the kid a perfect game.

Baseball should absolutely award the perfect game to him. They won't, but they should, and he should go in the record books as a perfect game thrower.

The ump screwed up....BADLY. We are talking to the point where you have to almost think he had an agenda going into that play. Yes, he admitted his mistake, which, to me, means baseball should do everything in their power to rescind and do the right thing.

But they won't because Bud Selig actually worse than this call.

Adam_Schefter RT @SI_PeterKing: Great moment. Jim Joyce
apologizes to Galarraga, Galarraga accepts, they hug. Class by Joyce, incredible class by kid.

It's a part of the game, if anything the memory of the blown call will be larger than if he had throw a perfect game.

If anything baseball has improved this yr, that is a bold statement but my goodness a game flies by now, the Braves v Phillies was in the top of the 6th inning..in an hour.

For me, that is a huge improvement over the 3.5 hour marathons.
