Bud Selig should have the ballsack to award Galarraga the first ever 28-out perfect game. But we all know he's a sack of shit and won't, so oh well. IDK how Galarraga just smiled and laughed. I would have legit ripped his fucking face off.

All this on the day the greatest player in MLB history aka KEN GRIFFEY JR. retires too. Fucking hoebag. I hope someone in Detroit murders him tonight.

I don't even watch baseball but was listening on radio at work when he got robbed. Pretty fucked up.

It's already not safe being in Detroit period. Add pissing off tons of people and you're probably not making it out alive!

Thank you Ken Griffey Jr. Your exploits in Baseball especially in the 90's were amazing. Loved him in the outfield and he had the sweetest swing in baseball, GOOD LUCK KID!

Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball for SNES = best sports game of all time

I remember playing that game and when in the game you didn't play for a while, the umpire would turn to you on the TV screen and say " PLAY THE GAME KID"
I was trying to remember what the name for that game was. Played it all the time.

Very close, but WINNING RUN was better.

Good to see the Rangers back in first place of the West. It looks like the Angels are finally figuring things out, and they're ready to make a run. Hopefully it's an entertaining race in September with the Rangers, A's, and Angels all going for the West.

So close to another freaking Perfect Game tonight! This is a pitchers year!

Words can't describe how bad I feel for Jim Joyce and Armando Galarraga right now. You can tell Galarraga was crushed after the game, and it was pretty hard to watch. As a baseball player, if the same thing happened to me this summer, or next season, I would probably rip the ump's head off. Galarraga showed great character after the game, by not criticizing Joyce. This just shows why MLB should implement instant replay for close calls on the field.

^100% agreed with that!

During a critical game this past season, my college team this summer had a call similar to this. We had a no-hitter going when a single to third was called safe when he was clearly out. I was playing 2nd at the time, didn't feel like bitching out the ump for it, but it cost us the season because that single drove in a walked runner who stole 2nd from a batter striking out and was advanced to third by popup, leaving two outs.

I feel real bad for both parties tonight, but shit happens. It's about that time where instant-replay needs to come into effect. It's already in hockey, and football.... basketball even has it for buzzer beaters, I think baseball needs it for safe/out calls at all bases, especially if they tend to be critical, or history in this case.

So how ironic is it that I was just watching Mike and Mike yesterday morning discussing how they would love to be at a ballpark for a no hitter or perfect game the same day MY SISTER witnesses a "perfect game" in Detroit!?!?! No idea how Cabrera, Galarraga, Leyland, or somedoby doesn't dropkick the fuck out of Joyce!?!?! Lord knows I wouldn't have been able to contain my emotions. Kudos to the Detroit fans for (can't believe I'm saying this) showing some class and not going WCW fans during Hogan's heel turn and littering the field with debris following that call. That being said....where the hell is that crazy father/son duo from Kansas City when you need them?
