SportsFilter: The Sunday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
That's like the ending of "Major League"!
Except, dumber.
The umpire at first did blow the call at first base, but that's no reason for Burnett AND Berkman to stop paying attention.

Can we finally publish the correlation between having a tattoo on your neck and not being very bright?

I wouldn't exactly call it a blown call. It was, after all, a close play, and without the benefit of replay, it is quite often called incorrectly, as it was in this case. The call ultimately affected the outcome of the game. The best thing about it, from the sports writer's standpoint, was the later matchup between Nova and Nava.

Given this, I can't see how anyone would be against replay...

Did it really? I don't think the runner called safe ever made it around to score, so we are only talking about the runner scoring from third on the error. That is not on the umpire. It is totally on Burnett.

$82,500,00 arm, $0.05 brain, and we're not so sure about the arm any more.
