Comments on: Instant Replay Is Fine, But Already Needs Fixing http://hirejimessian.com/2008/09/30/instant-replay-is-fine-but-already-needs-fixing/ Thu, 09 Sep 2010 11:34:28 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: JackB http://hirejimessian.com/2008/09/30/instant-replay-is-fine-but-already-needs-fixing/comment-page-1/#comment-40540 JackB Wed, 01 Oct 2008 22:03:53 +0000 http://hirejimessian.com/?p=2668#comment-40540 Agree wholeheartedly. The pinch runner should be voided because if Molina's hit was deemed a HR to begin with, the Giants never would have considered a pinch runner. Christ, even Molina can trot around the bases. I also I agree with all of your points about Selig's tenure. Love the Wild Card and divisions, I loathe interleague play, hate the All Star Game now that it "counts", and he totally missed the boat on steroids. I've never understood why it mattered whether the All Star Game ended in a tie to begin with. It was and should be an exhibition game. If it ends 0-0 after 10 innings, I still could give a shit. The Brewers should still be an American League team. I even liked them when they were an American League team. And we seriously can't shift an NL Central team to the AL west? I'm looking at you Houston.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('40540','JackB'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('40540','JackB','Agree wholeheartedly.

You can't really fault Bud for this one. The system was set up soundly.
