So let me get this straight:

Anyone who disagrees with you (and therefore happens to agree with Selig) on this ONE issue a) doesn't know baseball, b) is retarded and c) thinks Bud is the awesomest commish eva!

Is there anything else? There are a lot of holes in your logic, so it's possible something fell through and I missed it.

Whats your excuse, jerkwad? Thats what you crawled out from under your rock to post?

You really have balls to call anyone an idiot. Jackass.

I think it's funny that the people who after about 4 years think "midget" counts as a clever putdown are accusing me of beating a dead horse. HA HA DID YOU GET TALLER YET MIDGET HO HO?

(nope)

I kind of wish the sideburns thing had gotten traction, now. At least it would be new.

I really can't figure out which idea is stupider: the idea that we had a plain-as-day robbery of a perfect game, a blubbering ump on tv, and everyone thinks it's just going to go away without affecting anything, or Mike's idea that whatever the commish does will be just fine because Selig "learned his lesson" and can be trusted.

1. Overturn the call. Give the pitcher a perfect game a month later.

2. An elaborate, confusing, time-consuming replay system is instituted.



Hard to find fault with that reasoning.

And now they're just quoting their old posts... but I'm the one beating a dead horse.

I'd be fine with instituting the new rule as I've written it, ruling that it only applies from this day forward (so: not giving galarraga credit for a perfect game), and leaving it at that.

But we don't have to worry about that, as long as Selig has morons like you guys to carry his water for him.

Why don't you write up the press release and fax it to Bud's office for his signature?

Let us know when it's officially in place so we can all praise your geniusness for saving the game from itself.

Thanks. And have a great day!

We're quoting old posts because everything has been said and this horse is dead. It's entirely possible that you are the last person in America who cares what happens. Or at least until it happens, NervousBetty.

What's funny is you changing your argument.

People say they think Selig made the right decision by not overturning the call, and you somehow take that as people saying they think this won't lead to changes in the replay system.

Bosux: "Selig should overturn the call and give Galarraga his perfect game!"

Pretty much everyone else: "No, he shouldn't. It'll set a dangerous precedent. Calls haven't been overturned after the fact in the last 100+ years, so why start now?"

Bosux: "So you think this won't lead to changes? Idiots! You love Selig!!"


How you read "Selig shouldn't over turn the call" and get "We think this won't lead to any changes in how replays are handled" is beyond me.

Oh, so you admit that you're just beating a dead old horse?

I agree that the pathetic arguments thus far leveled against me do kind of reek of dead horseflesh. They certainly aren't arguments.

Even this latest one is just a tired ad populi.

"You can't selectively review umpiring calls!" (except this is what every review system ever written does)

"Individual accomplishment's don't matter!"
"What if your rule robbed someone of an individual accomplishment!"

"this slope is SLIPPERY!" (Except it's not, and nobody has given an example of how)


I welcome the chance to defend my ideas. I just wish the attacks were stronger. Good ideas survive strong attacks as well as the weak **** you morons come up with.

Every call ever overturned is overturned after the fact.

That's what those words mean.

It's also how causality works.

Moron.
