Finally...MLB Has Replay

Major League Baseball has announced that starting Thursday MLB umpires will be allowed to use replay for HR only. I think this is a step in the right direction and it really needed to be done. Some people argue that it will make the game even slower, but I think it could actually speed it up. Right now, umpires have to come together to make a call like this, and then a manager usually comes out to argue. Now we don't need to worry about that, because it will go right to the booth. Not to mention that we will no longer have to deal with umpires stupid HR calls (I think most umps suck, so I am biased).

MLB Finally Getting Replay

ESPN is reporting "Major league ballparks are being wired for instant replay, and commissioner Bud Selig said Thursday his "confidence is growing" that the technology to assist umpires will be ready soon. Selig said he has visited the so-called "war room" in New York where officials would review video feeds of disputed home runs. The NHL has a similar setup in Toronto".

It is about that it's about damn time. There is no reason not to have a replay for HRs, because having all the umpires come together to mess up a call takes just as long as picking up a phone and finding out for sure wheather it was a HR or not.
