What To Do About Stolen Perfect Game!?

...here's what they should do about the travesty that just occurred with Galarraga's perfect game. Scoring changes can be made after the fact. Joyce can say he called him safe because of the slight bobble by Galarraga on the catch. Thus change the hit to an error. Perfect game is still gone but he gets the no-hitter. Who would honestly complain about that?!? It's the right thing to do and there's some merit to it. That's honestly initially what I thought happened the first time looking at the replay on why he was called safe.

siena is correct- if the guy was safe, which of course is not correct, it would have been because of not a clear catch- thus the error call- cuz he sure as hell didn't beat it out

I will put it at 50/50 that the call is indeed reveresed and he gets the no no

Didn't think of it that way, would be nice to at least get the no hitter but not sure how MLB looks at that.

Think the call stands. Umps blow calls all the time it is what it is and it is shitty. Its a one hitter tough break but thats how the game is.

The umpire just admitted that he blew the call. Can the score keepers credit him with a perfect game now?
