Hawpe hit a homerun that was called a double. He was stranded on second, so it was the baseball gods making things right again.

Now that's something I can buy into. As opposed to the gay line of..."If the ref says he's out, then he's out."

Spoken like a baseball ignoramus.

Sorry, Rocky. The beauty of baseball is not having to explain it. You don't have to agree, but you can't say I'm wrong.

Of course I can say you're wrong. In fact I will again. You're wrong.

Nice, lol.

Even though I know more about baseball, I suppose we'll just have to agree to disagree.

Why is baseball inherently different than any other sport where the tradition of having an umpire make a call is more important than getting the call right?

Tradition only; however, if I had it my way, I'd get rid of replay in all sports, as I prefer the human element being a part of the game.

So you prefer not getting things right then?

If there are mistakes, so be it.

I love the competition more than the final result.

So your answer is yes...that you prefer not getting things right then.

Okay.
