C'mon, Blue!
Major League Baseball is so hidebound. No instant replay. Not now. Not ever.
Even after the Angels got ripped off last night, their manager Mike Scioscia wouldn't bite on the instant replay question.
It wouldn't have helped the Astros tonight in their loss, even though the home plate umpire made some moronic called strikes in the 9th against Jason Lane and Brad Ausmus.
And you wouldn't want instant replay on ball/strike calls.
But they oughta try having an umpire up in a replay booth to overturn obviously bad calls that determine the outcome of the game -- at least during the playoffs.
And while we're talking baseball, what in the hell is Andy Petite doing shagging balls in the outfield during BP on the night he's scheduled to pitch? (He got hit in the knee by a line drive, in case you hadn't heard.)

I for one would like to see electronic, computer-directed calls of balls and strikes. Enough of having some moron who REFUSES to call the strike zone as it is described in the rule book.
If the game is gonna be played it should be by the rules.
Damn. I can't believe I just said that. That only goes for baseball, now. And other sports. Really. On the real stuff, anarchy rules.
They could have robots dressed in blue umpire attire to signify out, safe, ball, strike, etc.
Doing it that way would still give the managers somebody (or something) to still argue with, to no avail, of course.
