galarraga perfect game

I was rooting for him to throw it because it would have been interesting. However, I think I like the ultimate outcome even better. I have no vested interest in Armando Galarraga actually throwing a perfect game other than wanting Dallas Braden to look less impressive.
I do have a vested interest in umpires getting more calls right. If that means more use of instant replay, I am all for it. This ending can only help generate interest in expanding the use of instant replay in baseball. This is one of the few instances when I am hoping for the media outrage machine to go into overdrive. “This isn’t ‘a’ call. This isn’t — This is — This is a history call,” Joyce said. “And I kicked the (expletive) out of it. And there’s nobody that feels worse than I do. I take pride in this job, and I kicked the (expletive) out of it, and I took a perfect game away from that kid who worked his (butt) off all night.”
Despite the call, Galarraga finished with the first complete game and first shutout of his career — a one-hitter — as the Tigers beat the Indians, 3-0, in the second of three games.
“That’s the nature of the business, that’s just the way it is. The players are human, the umpires are human, the managers are human, the writers are human,” Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. “We all make mistakes. It’s a crying shame. Jimmy’s a real good umpire, has been for a long time. He probably got it wrong.”
Following the play and immediately after the game, Leyland and most of the Tigers players — most notably Cabrera — were yelling furiously at Joyce. The crowd vociferously booed him, realizing the call on the field was incorrect. After seeing a replay postgame, Joyce apologized to Galarraga.

Drivers to Watch in NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race
Kevin Harvick
Harvick remains the leader as the Cup Series heads into a non-points weekend with the All-Star Race at Lowe’s Motor Speedway. Harvick has a 69-point lead in the standings. Points racing resumes on May 30 with the Coca-Cola 600. Harvick finished 15th in last year’s All-Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway and did not lead a lap. He won the 2007 race.
Kyle Busch :
Busch finished seventh in last year’s All-Star Race but led 33 of the 100 laps. “Last year’s All-Star Race was really quiet for the majority, and then the last 10 laps, if I would have had a car that was capable of running up front and leading the laps, I would’ve gotten to the front and been gone,” Busch said. “Unfortunately for us, our car was way too tight in the last segment.
Jimmie Johnson :
Johnson took a big drop, losing two positions in the standings, and is 131 out of the lead. Johnson finished 13th in this race last year after leading a race-high 50 laps. Johnson won the 2006 and 2003 All-Star races.

Danica Patrick, IndyCar’s most popular and visible driver, had to fight back tears and was shaking after qualifying 23rd for the Indy 500 with her only run Saturday.
She has been having problems controlling her GoDaddy.com car at the famed racetrack during practice this week. When the public-address system broadcast her criticism of the car’s setup, fans voiced their displeasure.
“I say one confident thing out there, that it’s not me, and everybody boos me,” she said. “I don’t know, maybe they were booing me before, but some of them were probably cheering for me before. I’m not a different driver than I was five years ago.”
Patrick covered four laps at an average of 224.217 mph Saturday. She was in line to make another attempt when the session ended.
Reigning champion Helio Castroneves averaged 227.970 during qualifying to win the poll for the May 30 race. Will Power will start second after averaging 227.578 and Dario Franchitti took third at 226.990.
While fans were upset with Patrick’s comments, members of her race team agreed with her assessment, that the car was too loose and she was unable to maximize the car’s speed.
“You take one on the chin, but maybe you had it coming this time,” said Tom Anderson, Andretti Autosport’s senior vice president for racing operations. “All you can do is turn the other cheek and just get back to work.

SEATTLE – The Food and Drug Administration says it has approved a drug developed by a Seattle company that is designed to stimulate a patient’s immune system to fight prostate cancer.
The agency says it cleared marketing of Seattle-based Dendreon Corp.’s drug treatment Provenge, which is intended to treat prostate cancer that has spread elsewhere in the body and is not responding to hormone therapy.
Provenge is made by taking immune cells from a patient’s blood and exposing them to a protein found in most prostate cancers. That encourages the cells to attack the cancer.
