easy to be mad at him, but he did his best. he made an incorrect call and apologised for it. what else can be said? anyone of us could be in his position.

[jcfadul]

i am actually more mad at the commissioner who had the power

to reverse the call and he didn't saying all that BS about the human

element

this made me giggle

@idiotslikeyou Umpires are human just like the rest of us, Jim Joyce made the call as he THOUGHT he saw it, and the rest is history. Get over it!

[TFSTACHE]

@idiotslikeyou I am NOT, i repeat, NOT saying that what he did was wrong. I am saying that wouldn't you have called him safe as well if you THOUGHT he was safe. That is what Jim Joyce THOUGHT. He DID his job that night, just like any other umpire would. And you obiously do not know how much pressure it is to make the truthful call in a game like that. Beleive me when I say that if I was in his shoe's i probably would have made the same call.

[idiotslikeyou]

@TFSTACHE ok, so your argument is that his job is too hard to actually do, so he should just call everyone out??? first, tie goes to the runner, so yes, if it's too close to call, you call the runner safe. second, if this job is too hard for him, why is he doing it? like i said, his job only includes ONE THING and if he can't do that one thing, he shouldn't be working there, why is this so hard to understand? it's HIS JOB to make the correct call in split second situations!!

[TFSTACHE]

@idiotslikeyou uh dude let me ask you something. If you were in the exact same situation with the pressure to make the right call in the blink of an eye, would you with all honesty make the same call he made or would you all the guys safe.

[TFSTACHE]

@crutches2 I hear you dude. It takes real courage to, after something like this, admit you were wrong.

[crutches2]

man ill say this it takes a real man to get on national tv radio an be heard all of the usa an say that he fucked up

[yeahbirds]

hahahaha what a loser. he should have said, "yeah bad call. i fucked the shit out of it."

[idiotslikeyou]

All you guys who are saying it was an honest mistake, what the hell are you talking about?? This guy's JOB is to get the right call! What the hell was he doing at that moment?? He's paid to do ONE THING, to watch if one guy with a ball in his glove puts his foot on a bag before another guy does, THAT'S IT!!! It's not very hard, I can't believe some of you are so ready to let it go, this IS NOT the kind of things that 'could happen to just about anyone', this guy's a complete moron!!
