It looks like MLB is going to go the route of replay...

So the traditionalists would rather that fat old dudes make bad calls instead of reviewing it on video tape and getting it right?

That's weird.

Yep. Somewhere out in cyberspace is an article about that kid who is now a college ball player. I'll have to see if I can find it sometime later today.

Apparently the fat old dudes (I'm assuming that's the umpires not the first basemen...heyyyoooo) have boycotted the meetings regarding the implementation of replay. Whether or not this will stop the replay train, I don't know, but it is interesting that they are opposing it nonetheless.

The article mentioned that the blues had considered boycotting a conference call between crew chiefs and MLB about replay, but MLB canceled the call.
