Instant Replay?



Recently the general managers voted 25 to 5 in favor of instant replay.Personally I hate the idea of a computer determining the outcome of a baseball game not only does it tarnish the sacred game of baseball .In my and every other Yankee fans opinion it hurts the Yankees tremendously. Whenever the Yankees won in the late ninety's etc.. in almost every series they won they received a little help from miss calls from the umpires. Call it luck call it mystique call it help from the baseball g-ds.Call what you want but whenever the Yankees won something along those lines happened.If Major League Baseball incorporates instant replay it removes that element of the game. And in some ways it modernizes baseball in a tacky sort of way. I just cant put my finger on it but it rubs me the wrong way.


I'm sure all the mets fans will be pro it and my fellow Yankee fans will be for it but i could be wrong.

i think that if they only use it for home run calls then i am for it..

but thats it...dont use it for close plays at any of the bases

i dont wanna see 5 min delays in games for a close play at first...

if u just leave it at close home run calls then how often will the game be stopped maybe 4 times a year for each team...

thats not so bad...

i totally disagree with you sam. I'm sick and tired of these umps ruining the games with their bad calls. Think Kenny lofton- that changed the momentum of the whole series! (that could have been the cause for casey blake's error)

I am definitely pro instant replay. And in regard to your yankee stuf- that's nonsense. I'm a yankee fan and i don't need bad calls to win. We can win fair and square.
Now, I don't want this abused, so I would only use it for homers and base-running. Not balls and strikes.

I would also be in favor of a one-Instant replay-per- game per team rule

Only for Home Runs.
Not for baserunning.
I think it will keep the umpires on their toes.

abie said...

THIS JUST IN...

There is a suspicion that MLB owners are colluding to keep the price of arod down....

This was taken lightly....but now it has gone to the point that MLB has released a statement that its absurd that ant colluding is going on....

INTERESTING...

abie said...

for all those that dont knwo what colluding is...

collude - To act together secretly to achieve a fraudulent, illegal, or deceitful purpose; conspire.

Avi said...

MIGUEL CABRERA OR BUST!!!

Avi said...

alot of big names being thrown out there on the trade market. Cabrera, Johan, Peavy WOW! can't help but get excited.

Avi said...

How about this: Melky, Kennedy and Olendorf for Cabrera. Hughes, Tabata and Austin Jackson for Johan. Joba, Alan Horne and a bag of balls for Peavy. WOW!! BOOK IT NOW!!
starting rotation: 1.Johan 2.Peavy 3.Andy P 4.Wing-Wing Wang 5. Mussina. WOW!!! and if any yankee fan tells me they think it's too much or they don't want to see it happen they instantly loose all their credibility as a baseball fan.

RALPH said...

I TOTAALLLY DISAGREE AVI YOUR FINALLY GETTIN RID OF AGE AND HIGH CONTRACTS AND GETTING BACK TO BASIC FARM SYSTEM GUYS WHO ARE ANXIOUS AND WANT TO WIN MORE THEN JUST TO RAKE IN MONEY AND YOU WANNA GIVE THEM UP THAT FAST FOR GUYS WHO MAKE MONEY AND ONLY CARE ABOUT MONEY AND COULDNT CARE LESS ABOUT A CHAMPIONSHIP? THATS A-RODS MOTO IF HE GETS HIS 30 MIL A YR THATS HIS CHAMPIONSHIP WIN HES A ONE MAN SHOW ITS 24 PLAYERS AND A-ROD WHO NEEDS THOSE MONEY HUNGRY PLAYERS...I DISAGREE FULLY I THINK THEY WILL HAVE A GREAT YR WITH THESE YOUNG GUYS AND GIRARDI WILL MOLD THEM TO BE BIGGER STARS THEN THEY ALREADY ARE FOR A 1/4 OF THE PRICE.

NOW IM NOT SAYING DONT GO FOR GUYS LIKE JOHAN AND CABRERA I JUST DISAGREE WITH GIVING AWAY THE ORGANIZATIONS PRIZE PACKAGES FOR THE FEW YRS THESE OTHER GUYS MIGHT GIVE YOU.

Unknown said...

Love the cabrera deal.
your Johan proposal is too lopsided for the yanks.
Not sure about the peavy one. Would the sox trade popelbon for one year of peavy? don't think so. well, joba is the next popelbon.
By the way , ralph, Wang and Cano can both cash in nicely in arbitration this year. Wang could make double digits. I would trade him and melky for santana.

anonymous said...

Ok now the vote is on who's is gayer avi or abie. Don't worry ralph I didn't forget about u you're a close third. And what's with everyone saying swallow stop watching porn u horny bastards. And hey we might not be classy but were winner and that's all that counts

MSR said...

We need something more concrete to talk about.
All of the what ifs are going to drive us crazy!!
We need to get past posada, mo, and the arbitration guys. Free agency officially starts on tuesday.
