Garth, *snicker*, you slay me.

Baseball will have replay when a sufficient number of wealthy owners get sufficiently pissed by bad calls to bring it about. I don't see this happening very soon.

I've had a former ML player tell me that when Angel Hernandez boots a fair/foul call that costs Steinbrenner the World Series, instant replay will debut the next season.

So, what you're saying is that it will never happen, since Angel will never be placed in that situation, right?

You give baseball too much credit. Remember, Angel worked the 2002 and 2005 World Series.

Yes, but I was hoping they had learned their lesson!

To keep this on the Cards/Mets theme, anyone else catch McCarver's comments that (RE: balks):

1. F1 has to come set for at least "1-thousand one", and
2. F1 has to come set with his glove in the same position for every pitch?


I thought the 1-second rule died before I was born.....
