Ron Paul, Rick Santorum Suggest Foul Play From Romney Campaign

If you're at the ballpark for three hours, what would be the difference if it were 3:07 and the calls were right? -- Michael KayI never thought I'd say this, but... well put, Mr. Kay.
After catching a break from the umps on Sunday when a Carlos Delgado homer was incorrectly called foul, the Yanks were on the cheated end of a play tonight. During the bottom of the sixth inning, A-Rod, who had already homered back in the third, hit a long one out above the wall in right-center field. It didn't go out of the park, though -- it hit off the yellow staircase above/behind the wall and bounced back into the field, where it was played as a base hit. A-Rod was trotting around the bases in home run style, but had to catch himself at second when he realized his homer wasn't being played as such.
Once A-Rod was secure at second base, he and Giambi commenced the arguing, but the umps were un-persuadable and the hit stood as a double. As you can imagine, A-Rod did not take being robbed of a multi-homer game too kindly. He didn't blow up, but there were evil stares and shakes of the head apleanty.
Like the Delgado homer/foul, the call didn't end up making a difference in the outcome of the game as the Yanks crushed the O's 8-0, but as happens every time an ump blows a call, the idea of instant replay is coming up again. Personally, I'm on Michael Kay's side on this one. The amount of time it would take the umps to saunter on over to a replay monitor would be negligible within the context of a nine-inning game, and being able to verify controversial calls would actually keep the game on track and eliminate arguments.
