Watch TV and learn

Again, learn to read. I said that there are mechanisms and processes in place at almost every professional sport to allow for the correct call to be made. They do this to protect the integrity of the game.

I did not realize pro baseball had replay.
Refer to the first sentence...almost every doesn't mean "ALL".

This is your exact quote. What did you mean by this then?
Careful, this might hurt. WHY...ARE...YOU...AFRAID...TO...HAVE...A...MECHANI SM...IN...PLACE...THAT...ALLLOWS...YOU...TO...GET. ..THE...CALL...RIGHT? If many professsional sports allow bad rulings to be changed by their officials, even judgement calls (Example: completed catch in the end zone or sideline), why are you opposed to allowing your partner to help you get a call right on a high school baseball field? Yes, we know you are a GOD and never are out of position, but ON THIS SITE, you said that you would never allow it to happen.

For one, you are talking about one call and trying to apply it to other judgment calls.
No I'm not. I've pointed out several calls. Go back and read.
As I have stated, you cannot give information about a foul call. You cannot give information to correct a travel call. You cannot give information about most judgment calls, except for an out of bounds call. You called it "over-ruling" and JR took exception to that language.
Yes, he's wrong. Everyone else seems to be able to understand. I gave up trying with him. Old dogs are good for one thing...
Again, you were not at the actual game and you did not hear the conversation between the two officials, but you know what happened.
SportsCenter is so cool...you should watch it sometime. Besides showing it from several different angles, the commentator pointed out that the correct call had been made by teh official that had the better angle...not the calling official. And yes, I saw it on live TV, too. While, I'm certain that the official didn't say, "Hey Rut, the was the worst call I ever saw, let's give texas Tech the ball because I've got five grand on this one." I've been around long enough, to know that the guy who called it wrong, had no problem getting it corrected. How's that..."Corrected", not overruled. Maybe your fragile egos can handle that.
