Bud Selig is the one with horsepower here.
I hereby declare Malibu Jenny to be the “Worst Michigan Governor Ever”.
Symbolism over substance....
Brilliant move by the smartest Canadian in the US :)
Isn’t that sweet? Selig,for once,is right. Until replay is in the rulebook for that situation, too bad. Although the ump who made the dumbass call could have asked for help right there and the crew chief could have overruled right there on the spot.
Governor should butt out.
The Commish was supposed to make a decision about the call.
The toughest thing people have to learn in life, is that things are not always fair. Galarraga accepted the situation. His manager did. The team did.
This governor should grow up. Even most fifteen year old kids know this lesson.
I’m sorry Galarraga got cheated out of this accomplishment, but his name well forever be ensconced in baseball lore because of it. He will be a household name long after he is dead.
You and I should be so lucky.

Glad the problems in Michigan are so solved the Governor can afford the time to screw around with crap like this.
I’m sure a lot of close plays at the plate are “miscalled”. The game would have been incontestably perfect if the pitcher had thrown a final pitch that could not have been hit. Both men acted with class.
Granholm is grandstanding, and could better spend her time on reducing Michigan’s unemployment rate.
Typical Lib - Oh we can’t hurt his self esteem, nobody loses we are all winners.
Bullsh!t. Galarraga was stand up man. He didn’t whine, bitch and moan. He accepted Umpire Joyce’s apology and showed true character. Unfortunately the peepants libs won’t learn anything from this.
Life isn’t fair, deal with it. My wife is dying from a cranial tumor. It sucks but she never complains. She is a true inspiration to everyone she meets.
BTW Joyce is a stand up guy too!
She could award the unemployed jobs. I sure could use one.
Guess I’ll have to be happy by being “Blown Away”, from the job market.
Why doesn’t the Governor of Ohio just declare “no he didn’t.”
In a related story, dfwgator awarded the Florida Gators the 2010 BCS Football Championship.
MI Gov., perfect dunce.
Great news for Galarraga!! At contract time he’ll sure be in good shape using Granholms “gift” as a negotiating tool.
No kidding. She and the other idiots need to stay the hell out of it.
The Ump called it as he saw it in the split-second after the foot hit the bag. Umps don’t always see it exactly the way it happened. But the umps are part of the game.
its not quite the same thing, is it.
