What are your feelings of the almost perfect game by Armando Gallaraga?

That was not a bad call by Jim Joyce, that was the worst call I have ever seen. Armando Galarraga was robbed of a feeling that only twenty other people in the history of baseball have felt. This should have been the third perfect game within the last month. I am sure that Armando Galarraga will have another chance at pitching a perfect game though. Armando Galarraga only had one three-ball pitch count and seventy-six percent of the pitches that Armando Galarraga threw were strikes. It is one thing that Jim Joyce made a bad call, but on the final out of what should have been a perfect game is unacceptable. I would expect this bad of a call by a rookie umpire, not by a veteran umpire with twenty-two years of experience. At least Jim Joyce acknowledged the fact that he had missed the call and apologized. I think that the MLB should seriously look into changing the rules of instant replays.
