Bud Selig is the jerk
|

For those of you who do not know the Armando Galarraga situation, you’re probably living under a rock. If that somehow is the case, I advise you to read what I wrote on the situation yesterday. This article is basically a continuation of my thoughts on the situation, taking into account today’s developments. Basically what has happened today is nothing. Selig has said he will review the play, but will not reverse the call, whatever that means. Seems kind of pointless to review the play if you play on taking no situation.
Then on the situation Selig had this to say. "The dignity and class of the entire Detroit Tigers organization under such circumstances were truly admirable and embodied good sportsmanship of the highest order. [Galarraga] and Detroit manager Jim Leyland are to be commended for their handling of a very difficult situation." I think the old phrase, actions speak louder than words comes to mind here. Selig can say all that stuff and it’s good and nice, but until he puts the kid in the history book as having thrown a perfect game, it doesn’t matter that he said that. I could say that. Anyone could say that. Selig is the only one who could take those words into action and make the situation right.
Jim Joyce wants the call reversed. He made a mistake. He knows it. He admitted it. I’m sure Galarraga wants it reversed. I’m sure he’d rather have a perfect game be acknowledged and put in the history books than just to have a bunch of people believe he deserved to have a perfect game. History books last forever. The current belief that he was perfect will only last as long as it takes people to forget about it, or for the people who believe it to die. According to an ESPN poll, 75% of all people want the call reversed. Selig is the jerk here for not reversing it, not, as popularly believed, Jim Joyce. Joyce may have made a stupid call, but he didn’t do it on purpose. He didn’t purposely cheat a kid out of a perfect game. Selig did.
