Re: Armando Galarraga perfect through 7

One of the miracles of nature...to get the perfect game, you have to face 7-8-9 in the last inning. Kind of like a favor from the baseball gods.

Re: Armando Galarraga perfect through 7

Ouch. Bang bang play called safe at 1st. Think the ump was right.

Nope. Ump screwed it up. There's going to be BIG fallout from this.

Re: Armando Galarraga perfect through 7

That ump has to have a horrible feeling in the pit of his stomach right now. You know he wasn't trying to screw over anybody.

What can they do? Maybe change when replays are used? Won't help Galarraga.

Is the ump going to get his ass kicked?
