GarthB, Amen. Pete, what Garth says answers your query pretty well. As far as the instant replay...no way. Why have umpires? Let the players govern themselves and if one disagrees, look at the replays and move on. ESPN has the K-Zone and the rest of TV scrutinizes any close call anyway so we already have replay, but it has no effect. Besides, the umps are right majority of the time anyway...coaches would like to say that about some of their players' defense. To err is human, baseball provides a lot of chances to err and we do. Take the game with all it's beauty, mystery and heart break. Umps are expected to be perfect from opening day and improve from there...just a tough job to do. JT
