After watching the umpire in today's Orioles/Angels game call Josh Bell out at the plate when the catcher missed the tag by about 18 inches, and watching the umpire in today's Texas/Taiwan Little League game use replay to overturn a similar call at third base, I'm convinced that MLB's refusal to put a real instant-replay system into use is close to becoming a worse stain on the sport than steroids. At least they did something about steroids.
What a complete embarrassment. I hope people start letting Bud Selig know that the growing focus on bad calls is going to be his legacy now that the issue of steroids is starting to fade towards the background.
