Fantastic finish to the Rockies/Padres game
I never watch baseball before October, but playoff games are often fantastic drama.
What a finish. |

Granted, the drama is larger in post season, but there are lots of great games throughout the season.

If the umpire says he's safe, he's safe.
I'm glad there is no replay in baseball, as it takes the human element out of the sport. And I'm not even a Rockies fan.

I could care less who won, but why ruin a 164 games (163+ the wildcard play in game) a team has played off of one bad season ending call? The non-chalant...well if he say's hes safe then he's safe irrational viewpoint cracks me up.

Great finish. I also never watch much baseball before October. But playoff baseball is fun.
Baseball and football have an important element right that soccer and basketball don't. The right number of scoring. Baseball and FB have about 4-6 scores per team per game. Soccer has 0-2 and basketball has about 50. If soccer (international--I could never go for MLS) had two or three times as much scoring it would become my next favorite sport after football. |

I wonder why a fan, coach, player, whoever...isn't interested in getting things right when it comes to the use of instant replay.
I've heard the complaint that instant replay slows down baseball,,,which of course is hilarious because baseball ALREADY is the slowest of the 4 major sports and coincidentally is also the only one that doesn't use a countdown clock to finish it's games. Getting it right is key to preserving the integrity of the game, which considering how much fire and bad image shots the sport has taken..could use all the goodwill and P.R. it could get right now.

Because you'll find that baseball traditionalists are by far the most irrational and condescending of any major sports fans out there and the thought of instant replay is horrifying to them no matter how much sense it makes.
