Don't let David Ross fool you. He's not a starter. As a spot starter for the Reds in 07 his OPS was .932. The next season he was the starter out of spring training and his OPS that year was .670

General Motors gives Tigers pitcher Armando Gallarraga a brand new 2010 Chevy Corvette Convertible for his near-perfect game.
Talk about a city/fanbase having your back. Classy. |

Gotta love Selig's attitude: I will acknowledge that the call was wrong and that the player was clearly out, but the hell if I'm going to make that official!
Horrible Commissioner. Only 2.5 more years of his crap. |

Let's ignore the blown call and realize what's actually happened here. This is the third "perfect" game in MLB this year, and this one was less than a week separated from the last one. What is going on with the pitching this year? All of a sudden we've had a no-hitter, 2 perfect games, 1 game that should be a perfect game, and several near no-hitters.
As of today 20 NL starters have ERAs less than 3.00 19 NL starters have WHIPs less than 1.20 20 AL starters have ERA less than 3.50 and 9 of them under 3.00 17 AL starters have WHIPs less than 1.20 There are obviously more stats we can look at, but I don't think it's entire poor hitting because the lists are mostly comprised of aces and other very pitchers with the exception of Livan Hernandez who should fall off the face of the earth soon. Just makes you wonder how pitching so dominant this year. |

Joyce's son has been getting death threats through Facebook.
Guess that's not a good enough reason to overturn it either. GG Selig ![]() |

You know it's sad because I feel that we have handled the situation well. Pisses me off that some Tigers fans have acted this way. We all have a right to be pissed off.
With that said, I no longer blame Jim Joyce. He's human, he made a mistake, he admitted to it, let's move on. I'm fucking pissed with Selig though. Has a chance to rectify it and doesn't. Hope whoever the new commissioner is takes the hit away when he gets in office and gives Galaragga his perfect game |

Bud Selig's legacy is going to be the Steroid Era, a called All-Star Game, Interleague Play, and failure to reverse the most contreversial call in regular season history.
He should put Pete Rose on the HOF ballot as soon as possible, and do something of merit. |

If they overturn this call, then I want them to overturn that jeffrey meier "homer" back in 1996 and replay the entire 1996 ALCS..
Its only fair..this was a meaningless regular season game..that was the ALCS. |

At least this way Selig took the heat off Joyce and put it squarely on himself. He's already hated by baseball fans everywhere, so what's one more injustice?

This could actually do wonders for Galarraga's career. He's getting a ton of publicity, he's going to have sympathetic strike zones for at least the rest of this season, and he's got some pretty powerful motivation to make him work harder.
Plus we'll be talking about this for a lot longer than if there was no controversy. Dallas Braden has already faded back into obscurity. But this is gonna last. And that will only be good for him. |

Plus, I have a feeling that Galarraga will eventually get his perfecto made official. I'm not sure Selig will cave in under the pressure, but his successor may change it when he comes in. Either way, it will be remembered forever, and will probably never happen again in those exact same circumstances. |

Some gayass minor leaguer for the Nationals barrel-rolled into Daniel Murphy's plant leg during yesterday's AAA game. Torn MCL, out 4-6 months. He had sprained that same MCL near the end of spring and had only just started playing in games again. With Ike Davis now entrenched at 1B, Murph was going to be playing 1B, 2B, 3B, and LF and try to be a utility guy in the big leagues.
Really sucks. Hope he's back to full speed for ST in 2011. The Syracuse manager sat the player that dove into him for today's game cause he knew he would be plunked. |

I'm just glad that Joyce is not to blame anymore. The guy was a complete wreck. I feel very bad for Joyce. He owned up to his mistake he was truly sorry about it. Bud had the power to change this mess but Selig did nothing. Fuck You Bud Selig.

Not surprised at Bud Selig doing nothing even though the play after the mess up ended as an out so even with the blown call, the game wouldn't have been affected if he reversed the blown call.

Don't really know what anybody has to gain from it being switched. As said earlier in the thread, the biggest part is the celebration. Good for Selig taking the heat off Joyce.
Plus it's a fucking meaningless June game between two Midwest teams. Why send the guy's kid death threats on facebook? |

Just FTR, I'd just like to say this in regards to last night: FUCK YOU, JIM JOYCE AND FUCK YOU AS WELL, BUD SELIG.
Also, LMFAO @ Chevy trying to smooth things over with Galarraga by giving him a new car. Don't they understand a perfect game can't be bought, let alone people's emotions?! That is all. |
