dangerous precedent? what's a dangerous precedent is that an ump can blow a freaking call (hell i even knew he was safe) and not be held accountable. if this is overturned, then umps should be suspended indefinitely until they take a random test on the rulebook. i don't care how small the rule. GET IT RIGHT. that's what you're paid to do. there WAS an argument after the call happened as well. yes the actual "original protest" wasn't filed until the next inning, and the run put back on 2 later. again that's the ump's fault for waiting 2 innings after the initial protest was called. as for playing hard? you're a professional ball player. you should play hard EVERY play. if you don't, piss off and go bag groceries. the game stands. as for nhl 94' i thought there was OT in that game?? i don't get that.

I think it doesn't set a precedence in that it's not the first time a run was awarded later in a game. I'm going on memory here. We'd have to check that out. As for Sega, man, that story comes scaringly close to what we went through - only with baseball. A couple of University kids dungeoned up for multiple hours playing a game - and we were active fellows. My mother had to beg us to come up to have supper one night. "Ma, extra innings. I don't expect you to understand..."

So that'd make, what, five games they need to make up from April?
