Got Some Extra Time On Your Hands?

Then you can still watch baseball.  Looks like instant replay is coming to a baseball game near you... 

Replays would be used only to determine whether a ball leaving the field is fair or foul, or whether it actually went over the fence. It would not be used on close plays on the bases, or to determine balls and strikes.

No problem, just add an extra half hour to every game, make 'em an even 5 hours.  Cause if you've got 4 to 4.5 hours for baseball, what's another 30 minutes while the umps haggle over fair or foul. 

Sorry but I loathe instant replay no matter what sport it's used for.  The game is played by humans (so far) so let humans call the shots.  It's not perfect and it shouldn't be.  I don't give two hoots in hell if it's fair or not - when has life ever been fair?  Besides, just look at the arguments continuing to this day...

"Was he out or safe?"
