    The "human element" of having people umpiring instead of video cameras almost got some little Asian lady murdered by Serena Williams. #instantreplay

    What lack of expansion are we blaming the MLB brass for exactly?

    Can we get some parameters? Inside the park fair/foul calls? Catch/no catch calls? The strike zone (God forbid)? All of the above?

    It just seems too easy to yell at baseball for not expanding while having no plan of your own. What are we, Republicans here?

    @Civil Negligence: Well, we don't really know, because they refuse to even consider it.

    I would think fair/foul calls, trap catches, and/or force outs wouldn't be completely unreasonable. (For discussion. I'm still on the fence as to whether it would do any good.)

    On the bright side, we can look forward to another postseason of watching 20 minutes of bad-call replays while Tim McCarver explains how the call could have gone either way and the umps probably got it right. #instantreplay

    I think he is just promoting players from his generation. He also endorsed Jamie Moyer's candidacy.

    Did you know that in UK, there are kiosks right in the soccer stadiums where you can bet on that day's games, righ tnext to the hot dog stands (or whatever the British equivalent is, probably boiled kidneys on a stick)? Did you know that sometimes players that are feeling particularly lucky or cheeky will use these stands to bet on themselves to do something spectacular moments before gametime? It just amazes me how different the sports gambling culture is here and there.

    but there are just as many Hall members who want to see Rose humbled first. Maybe he broke one of their records?

    True. Mike Schmidt will never forgive Rose for breaking his "Most Arrogant Dismissals of Reporters' Legitimate Questions" record.

    But if Pete would just ask for forgiveness and admits his faults, this could all be over.

    In all seriousness, Pete Rose is only relevant because he isn't/can't get in the HOF. If he gets in, it'll be a big deal for a while, and no one will care shortly thereafter.
