Should MLB have instant replay? w/poll

Sun Oct 23, 2005 at 09:43:38 PM PDT

Tonight I saw another bad, bad umpire call go in favor of the White Sox, and I'm finally ready for instant replay in baseball. I'd like this thread to serve two purposes- first, I'd like to compile a list of the bad calls that went in favor of the White Sox this playoffs (so far, at least). Combined with the couple of bad calls that would have gone against them but were reversed, if nothing else it makes a compelling case for crazy-ass coincidences, which are a fun thing to believe in. Me, I'm thinking Chicago? Family business? Black Sox?

Whatever... Purpose number two of this diary: I checked with the search feature and apparently there hasn't been a poll on this. We can't think about politics all the time. If you're a baseball fan, take the poll. And if you're not a baseball fan, well, take the poll anyway.

Oh yeah- if your answer is "no", please explain why. Thanks.
