Umpire's Gaffe Costs Tigers' Pitcher Perfect Game

Umps have been having a bad month, from Joe West turning the White Sox/Rays game into a circus act featuring himself and then screwing up in the Jays/Rays game a week later to many other bad calls...now this?

Joe West just needs to be suspended for trying to promote himself (separate issue) , but this latest bad call should finally be the straw that breaks the Commissioner's back regarding instant replay. Even if they allow limited challenges like the NFL, they could save games and umpire's reputations.

There are prominent umpires in favor of it. Selig seems to be the only one blocking it.
