Could there be another perfect game

[UTVols2]

Armando Galaraga has a perfect game thru 8.1 on a phenomenal catch in center.....

[UTVols2]

2 down.....

[UTVols2]

OMG, what a blown call on the final out of a perfect game..... this is a travesty. That is complete BS

[Monkeyhead]

I would have laid him out if I was the pitcher, was not even close. Hate to see how bad life gets for that ump.

Good shot Bob..... and the funny thing was the Cleveland runner once he was called safe had his hands on his head in disbelief. Miguel Cabrera was talking non stop to him after that call. Leyland should have gotten himself thrown out on that.

Galaraga is a better man than me, all he did was laugh it off, I would have been escorted off by police.

[NotSoSilentBob]

I've seen some bad calls, but the situation defines that as possibly the worst call in the last 10 years of MLB.

OK, I saw where the ump said he blew it, but what was the reason he did?
Did he think the throw was late?
I know umps make that call based on hearing the "thump" before the runner gets there, but a sno-cone doesn't thump.
Or was it becasuse he saw a bobble? I don't watch enough to know if that woulda been safe or out by an avg. ump.

The scorer could say the runner reached based because the ball wasn't secured properly by the fielder, and change the hit to an E-1.

I think MLB will take a major hit if Selig doesn't overturn it.

Joyce said he thought the runner beat the throw from what I have read.

Yep.

"It was the biggest call of my career, and I kicked the [stuff] out of it," Joyce said, looking and sounding distraught as he paced in the umpires' locker room. "I just cost that kid a perfect game."
"I thought he beat the throw. I was convinced he beat the throw, until I saw the replay," he said after the Tigers' 3-0 win.
