a call that cost tiger's pitcher armando galarraga a perfect game. commissioner bud selig had the power to overturn the call but today he said he will not. selig said the human element is part of the game. however, he did say he would look at the expanded use of instant replay. here is how it went down if you missed it last night. galarraga called up from tr triple-a. shot to left center field. look at austin jackson. how far he has to go. phenomenal over the shoulder catch. the dugout, on oh, about to experience history. galarraga within two outs of the 21st perfect game in baseball history. now he needs one more. jason donald grounds one to the right side and cabrera goes way out of position and throws to galarraga for the final out. no. first base umpire jim joyce calls him safe. galarraga is like dude, are you serious? check out the replay. clearly shows he was out. galarraga gets the next batter out to get the one hit shutout.

jim joyce was getting an earful from jim leyland. here is what joyce had to say for himself. >> no, i did not get the call correct. i kicked [ bleep ]. this isn't a call. this isn't -- this is -- this is a history call. i kicked [ bleep ] out of it. and there's nobody that feels worse than do i. i take pride in this job. i kicked [ bleep ] out of that and i took a perfect game away from that kid over that that worked his [ bleep ] off all night. >> he feels badly now. he will watch that replay. how's he going to feel? you know. >> they are calling eight perfect game. they say he retired 28 straight.

you know. it is -- it is not quite as nice as it would have been had it turned out, you know. but that's okay. you can talk about this one, you know. you can -- people can rip on the umpires, tv, whatever you want to do. it doesn't change anything. the fact is that guy is a very, very good umpire. and -- i will say this. i don't know of any umpire in the history of the game that would want to miss that call. >> this afternoon in detroit umpire jim joyce behind home plate and was met there by galarraga who brought out the lineup card for the tigers. the fans gave the meeting a standing ovation. joyce had to wipe away tears. emotional moment for jim joyce who admittedly said he made the wrong call there on the perfect game. a small consolation for galarraga. from the people of general motors, a brand-new chevy corvette convertible. if there is a silver lining it is behind the wheel of a fast

car. i want to mention jim leeland today said that we shouldn't be booing a call. we should be cheering integrity. i thought that spoke highly of the situation because jim joyce after he made the call, after the game, went into the clubhouse, apologized to galarraga immediately. you know. basically taking full ownership of his mistake. the problem we have here with the situation in baseball does want to stand up and say let's overturn the call. i have a problem with bud selig saying we are going to keep at this time way it was. everyone knows that this was a perfect game. while that counts in our hearts and our minds, it doesn't count in the record books. >> what a lesson in good fortune of a pitcher. >> great lesson in sportsmanship. got to tip your cap to him because the way he is handling it. he snild and i forgive him. it is no big deal. a lot of people want to move on from it which is fine. hey, you know, you have to remember what happened here. this is going to be something baseball has to live with.

>> everybody that saw it on the record. moving on now. golf, tiger woods playing first tournament since exiting early from the players championship with a neck injury. tiger is even thus far in first round of memorial in ohio. justin rhodes is the leader at seven under while fairfax nativ. college parks, you can find lots of turtles and how about a birdie? drops it right next to the cup. it is beautiful shot. he would knock that in for birdie. that's about as good as it gets. here's how not to play the hole. gavin coles had four bogeys before this hole. none as bad as this. bogey putt. missed. double bogey. missed. finally gets the triple bogey going and says you know what, i don't like this ball. i don't want it anymore. i'm going to chuck it in the water out of frustration. then, you know what, i don't even think he gets there. i mean -- you know what, at tend, it got there.
