Will effect the history of the game.

no. people like Barry Bonds, Mark McGuire, and Rafael Palmeiro have corrupted the game. and yes, it will affect the history of the game; it already has. look at how fans today view baseball players than they did during the Ruth-Aaron eras.

The rules were 'passed' down by our ancestors.  FIFA and probably other pros review the rules periodically.

Years ago, it was the line of scrimmage. But a couple of years ago the rules were changed. Now the ball goes over at the point where the ball was kicked.

EVERYTHING in life has become too PC.  All sports are becoming overly cautious of anything and everything.  Thant's why we watch college ball.  They are playing to get noticed and to get signed.  They're not being paid to "entertain" the audience, yet.

I'm  not saying women shouldn't have equal rights and all that 1950's shite. but seriously think about how much drama that would cause with the players and the mlb personell. won't happen, it'd be bad for baseball.

It will be draw. Because More than players whether is playing very crucial in this series.

Good luck, I doubt you will get anything back.  There was a bad call in Edmonton the other night that really changed the game.  Bad calls are a part of the game.

Of course not.  It's just the players that are fixed to .............

You're wrong... up untill about 1998 or so the balls had their respective league president's signature. For example, If there was a game being played at fenway, all the balls would have the signature of the AL president.

So I'm not the only one that has noticed this..?! It's becoming evident in these playoffs that something needs to change, because the referees should NOT have the power to affect the outcome of a deciding game...! Take the Spurs/Mavericks game last night for example. I was watching the final seconds of the 4th quarter, and saw a "phantom foul" called on Bruce Bown--that, coincidentally, would bring Dirk to the line to tie the game and take it into overtime. There has been several "questionable" calls, and most of them have affected the outcome of games. SOME SORT of system needs to be put in place, because like football, human error happens--but it shouldn't be the reason a team losses a game if the call wasn't the right one to begin with!

No no no no no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I think it is just all part of the game.Everyone has been mad before about a bad call against their team but everyone has also seen a bad call made that helps there team so it kind of evens out and all.This sounds really evil and I'm not like that but also, with replays there would be less fights.I know that's a good thing because they try to make baseball a family sport but I think everyone gets interested in that.Like when a manager goes out to argue with an umpire about his call, the crowd just goes crazy.I think the whole thing is just part of the game.

I agree with cooley.  The are not overall fixed.  However, by extending the series, companies can make money on broadcasting and advertisement.  Sometimes, I feel the refs are biased in their calls..but for the most part I don't think they are fixed.  I really feel the first round should go back to a 5 game series.

In theory the crackdown on obstruction was a good thing.  Yes, I do miss the battles in front of the net... I guess it goes both ways.  I'd rather leave all the hooking and holding out of the game--but I still think that sometimes the refs went a little overboard and sometimes they were true to form and "put away the whistle" during the game... in my opinion it all depends on how they're calling the game and which team ends up with more power plays (if it's the team you're rooting for then of course the refs are doing their job--but again that goes both ways too).

No, I think the refereeing in the past has been bad. The players have been allowed to run wild for so long. Finally, some boundries are being set and the players are walking right over those boundries. There are consequences for such actions.\n\nIt is the PLAYER'S job to learn what will and won't be allowed, and the way these players are so slow to learn, I wonder how many brain cells they have.\n\n95% of the calls and 99% of the cards I have seen can be backed up by the Laws of the Game.
