Yeah I do kind of agree, but think about all that money he is going to lose from those autograph shows 15-20 years down the road.

I think he will profit from this. It isnt as though Denny Martinez, Len Barker or Mike Witt are big names on the autograph curcuit. He will always be known as the guy who got screwed by the umps which led to MLB using replay. That is going to happen. Seriously who is going to be more remembered? This guy or Dallas Braden?

Halladay is a star. These other guys arent nor will they be. Though if the Phils dont turn the offense around Halladay will be missing the playoffs again!

Phils bats go through streaks every year. This one is just a lot worse than usual! But I fully expect them to turn it around soon.. especially after Charlie absolutely ripped their heads off to the media yesterday. They usually respond to Charlie.

Galarraga snowconed the ball and snapped his glove to secure the catch. At game speed I could see this appearing as a juggle. Throw in all that clumsy footwork and the whole thing just looked bad. Closest thing to an excuse that I can come up with for Joyce. That being said, I think Cannon is right, AG might parlay this into big bucks. A good ad man would have the two of them in a commercial together.

I was just about to type almost the exact same thing. In some ways, the ump did him a favor.
