Sabathia doesn't get his no-hitter, thank goodness
The one-hitter stands and it's a good thing.
Baseball is a great game. Let's not screw it up.
Can you imagine telling your grandchilden about the thrill of reading the paper to find out that the game you had witnessed three days earlier was a no-hitter?
The fact that MLB's scoring review committee even got involved is a bad thing. I'm not wild about instant replay, either.
It won't be long before umpires and scorers are replaced by machines. And eventually, the entire MLB season will be played on X-Box.
I've witnessed some amazing pitching perfomances, but never a no-hitter. Once, Larry Jackson's threw one-hitter beat Joey Jay's two-hitter in an hour and 40 minutes. I'd rather remember that amazing game for what it was, rather than having it tarnished if Pete Rose's seventh-inning hit had later been ruled E-8 by some committee a couple of days later. (This is just an example; I recall the hit by Rose being squeaky clean.)
How do you feel about this? (Big Brother in baseball; not my personal memories.)
