    Default Worst Call in the history of baseball?

    SAFE!



    The runner, Willie Bloomquist, eventually came around to score the tying run. Next inning, Mariners took the lead on a solo shot off a 98mph Mariano Rivera fastball. Other replays/angles show he was out by a solid 2-3 feet.

    [edit] Screen capture of movie:

    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    Another angle would be nice. Don't they use the replay stuff in MLB now too?

    I've seen bad calls like this before. Part of the game I guess.

    Screw it. It went against the Yankees, and that's enough to make it a great call!

    Speaking of the Yanks,did you hear about the deal they just made with Roger Clemmons for an obscene amount of money?!

    My husband heard on the radio that he has in his contract that he doesn't even have to show up at the away games that he isn't scheduled to pitch.
