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.

When I work pro ball, I will worry about what the pros do. Simple enough for me. And it helps that they have usually more umpires on the field. Unless they are at the lowest of levels of baseball.

You need to read what I said, and stop trying to let your "Peter" decide for you what to think. I have no problem with getting calls right, but if my partners cannot get basic calls right, they will not be there anymore. Chances are, they had a better look at the play than I did.

He was? OK, I will take your word for it. You do Minor League Baseball. Why not tell us what the NFL does with their calls as well? You know some NFL Officials too right, tell us what they do?

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.

You are quoting SportsCenter as a justification for what officials do? SC has said guys were out of position, the officials did not use the proper rule or that the official was out of line, but you are quoting SC as a justification for this argument?
