Joyce-Galarraga Reunion Subplot to O's Tonight

The Orioles are in Detroit, but no one's talking about the game.  To me, just another reminder about something broken with baseball. You see, this is the first time umpire Jim Joyce and Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga have been back together since Joyce cost Galarraga a perfect game with a blown call.  While it was a very nice story, and might have actually created a more lasting impression than a perfect game, it should have never happened. Baseball should have more expansive use of instant replay.  It was an easy overturn, but didn't happen.  It's time for Bud Selig to get out of the dark ages.  When the fans at home and the stands know in 10 seconds that the call was blown, it's time to fix replay.
