Boy, that would set up a slippery slope, getting the Commissioner involved in a game's outcome (that isn't a tied extra-inning All-star game, that is).

Not really. You can't protest an umpire's judgment call, only whether or not a rule was correctly applied.
The only thing I can think of that comes close is that when Randy Johnson pitched 20 strikeouts in 9 innings in what turned out to be an extra innings game, they didn't initially give him credit for tying Clemens & Wood because it was an extra innings game. Since Johnson only pitched 9 innings, they reversed that decision to give him credit for it. But this is different. That's only a question of how a record is to be treated (a la Maris' 61 homers with an asterisk). This would require reversing an umpire's call on the field after the game. I don't think there's a mechanism for that. Plus what do you do with that 28th out?
This is not some silly theory that's unsupported and deserves being mocked by photos of Xena. ![[Image: ITgoyeg.png]](http://i.imgur.com/ITgoyeg.png)

Unfortunately, this will overshadow Griffey's retirement.

Anyone else starting to see the wisdom of computerized umpires? This is a fucking travesty.

I can't help but think that this is the incident that leads to instant replay become a serious part of the game, good or ill.

Nothing with these ramifications, though. Those who want it for the more mundane close calls will have heavy ammunition now.

Leyland handled the situation with class by saying that Joyce was a good ump that made a bad tough call.
Joyce is about to be on the MLB Network

Instead it was just a statement by Joyce saying that he blew the call and he feels terrible about it.
That's the human element of the game. We are all flawed.

Milt Pappas got 1-uped. Pappas still got a no-hitter, Galarraga just gets a shutout.
I hate my pretentious sounding username too.

At least he admitted he made the mistake. It doesn't help anything, but at least he didn't try and make up some bullshit reason.
