Joe Girardi says he's in favor of instant replay in baseball “As long as it doesn’t slow the games down,”
Yeah, it would be a shame to derail the crazy paced action fest that is professional baseball ( 14 minutes of action per 3.5 hours game time).
Personally, I think showing instant replay of each pitch ( especially in no-hitters ) would actually appeal to hardcore fans ( no worries about driving off casual TV fans - they left in the 1950's and I'm pretty sure new fans too young to drink are being forced to attend and bring hand-held Madden NFL with them to the games )
Oh my god - is professional fly fishing next to have all the adrenaline sucked out of it ?

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
