Lot being made about the genius ump blowing the call in Sunday night's Mets blowout of the Yankees. Carlos Delgado lofts one down the left field line and 3rd base umpire Mike Reilly correctly gives the 'circle the bases' signal for a dinger. Then the rocket scientist behind the plate, Bob Davidson overrules him and calls it foul. I was watching 28-hundred miles from the Bronx and saw the freaking thing hit the foul pole and I'm a die hard Yankees fan. Then today(mon), Davidson admits his error and drops a bunch of "F" bombs. Didn't matter cause the NL team from NY thumped, but down the road, who knows? Let's see, if only the technology existed to take a look at the play again and render a proper decision????? Oh it's called "INSTANT REPLAY"! Time for the powers that be in baseball pull their heads out and use the freaking thing. Public admissions and apologies are worthless. The remedy is simple. I'm not talking balls and strikes, plays at the bases or anything dramatic but fair or foul on a homer is EZ!
Moving to the NFL, don't etch it in stone that Pacman Jones will play for the Cowboys this season. If he shows remorse and avoids having another "dinner" at a Manhattan strip club prior to his meeting with the commissioner over the summer it could happen. Right now Roger Goodell has made it clear Mr. Jones doesn't warrant any special consideration. At least in his most recent interview the Constant Defendant said all the right things and might actually get that this is his last chance.

jery jones + TO + pac punk= a circus for the cowgirls... match made in heaven...
it's too bad for Delgado cause he could have used the HR and 3 rbi's, but I think Davidson had some help from the other umps (and Derek Jeter) before he overturned the call.
As a Mets fan, I was just irritated that the game was on ESPN, would've loved to have heard Cohen and Hernandez talk about that call for awhile.
second homer taken away from the Mets this year, Beltran was robbed of one in the third game of the year v. Florida.
keep up the good work Steve!
