I wonder what Jim Leyland was telling Joyce at the end of the game.

I wonder what Jim Leyland was telling Joyce at the end of the game.
I would have liked to hear what Cabrera was pissing in his ear, for the rest of that inning. Neither guy was paying attention to the game after that call. Cabrera never shut up, and neither did Joyce.
I think every day in Detroit is gun day
by the way...no promos according to the Tigers website..next promo is fireworks on 6/11...oh and a 60oz beer pitcher for 1st 5000 fans 21 and older
Got that right. Lately it's been bad, even by Detroit standards.

Baseball commissioner Bud Selig said he will not change the umpire's call, it will not be a perfect game, live with it. Baseball.

That would have opened a Pandora's Box that could never have been closed. Selig did the right thing.

That's probably the first time those words have appeared together in a sentence in that order. Ever.
I feel sorry for the Detroit Pitcher he was in the minor a couple of weeks ago and trying to get settle in the Major and this happens wow total blow over!:rant:
There were a lot of them in Joyce's face after the game. Have to give Joyce a lot of credit for standing there and taking it like a man. He let every Tiger who wanted to have their say take their turn, without backing away. And he didn't do it Joe West-style, he let them all say thier piece.
And this was BEFORE Joyce saw the replay and found out he was wrong. Joyce earned a lot of respect with the way he handled that.

I'm not a baseball person, but I think it should have been overturned. Nothing really happened in the 1 out after this error right, just a ground out? If it turned into a 3-run inning or something then it'd have been dumb to overturn, but a refs call robbed this guy and the team of history.
It's not like the Hoculi play where if called correctly they game would have ended, after that play events transpired to decide the outcome.
Overturning this doesn't mean every bad call in the 4th inning of some random game would need to be retroactively reviewed. Overturning a call doesn't automatically mean the worst case scenarios in every game become true.

This would have opened a door that could never be closed again. The commissioner is ridiculed enough in his own sport, when you start picking and choosing which bad calls you'll overturn and which bad calls you won't overturn, you go out on a very slippery slope.
Good job by Selig.

Agreed! Bud Selig did the right thing by upholding the integrity of the game; Jim Joyce did the right thing by acknowledging his botched call; the Tigers organization did the right thing by showing restraint in their public reply; and GM did the right thing by giving Galarraga a brand new Vette. Again, as much as the botched call sucks for Galarraga and Tigers fans, the rules are the rules and the Commissioner should not bend, fold, spindle or mutilate the rules as a measure of equity justice. I'm not a Corvette fan, but that was certainly a premium edition they gave Galarraga.
So then purists all think it's fine, and casual observers and borderline fans will all think it's another mistake on top of the whole steroid era. Bud Selig and 'upholding the integrity of the game' in one sentence, I never thought I'd see the day.
Agree to disagree I guess.

Here is the problem. A blown call is a blown call. The fact is they can't overturn a call just because it happened to effect a perfect game. What if a blown call effected the score of a game? What if that team needed that game to make it to the playoffs. It's a slippery slope. And I will bet anyone that if you look at no hitters you will find calls that went the pitchers way even if the call was wrong.
