You might need to read this to know what I am talking about.
Basically a bad call was made by the umpire on the last out of the game (which was clearly an out) for the pitcher who was about to record the 21st ever perfect game in MLB history (and third of this season). I think that because the call doesn't change the outcome of the game he should be granted the perfect game and have the call of the runner being safe instead be an out.

Yes, he was robbed. It's ridiclous that baseball-afficionados are all saying that more instant replay would "ruin the game." The human aspect ruins many moments, this is just the latest incident.

He was indeed robbed. And more props to Galarraga for not being a pissy one of that fact either.
