BLK WDO Very good point(s) **** happens, you can't control everything.

Mike I also I agree with you a bit. It is a new age of baseball, but I don't think the fans or the administrations want to take that next step. We all still sort of look at it as the old fashioned baseball played in the 70s and 80s. I'm only 22 and I love watching old films of the Cardinals back in the day. So if we had a challenge type deal then it would kind of take that drastic step that maybe not everyone is ready for. I don't know, just a thought. I stopped playing ball after highschool so I have never had that important of a call happen.

I'm sure Joyce would be thrilled if he did because it would take the load off his back. It just sounds like Selig is wanting to show how much power he's got by not changing it.

Well said Scott. I agree, Joyce feels terrible about it so they should have overturned it. It's all over now I guess.
