I can't believe that someone actually had the intestinal fortitude to agree with what I preached a few years ago. Remember when we had this discussion about the Big Ten adopting it and our resident football/baseball/basketball/sociology expert chimed in that it was just a test and that it wouldn't happen throughout D-1?

Pete, while you may not welcome the company I'm up early and am joining you out on this branch. MLB is about entertainment and big money. Wagering is legal on this sport and the outcome may or may not rely on a crucial call by a human umpire. Steps have been taken in a few major sports to create a system that allows correction of certain types of calls. Apparently, MLB allows this to be done, so debating whether or not it sets a bad precendent is moot.

I wonder how many of you would be crying about the end of the world if it was your favorite team in the bottom on the ninth of game 7? Give me a break - they got the call right and MLB allows it. Instant replay may or may not have given Hernandez a better look at the call but it would certainly have been interesting to see.

It'll be here before you know it or even like. There is far too much money riding on it.
