Jim Joyce, PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER ONE. What a JACKASS!!!

Armando Galarraga was one out away from the third perfect game of 2010 and the second in less than a week, until Jim Joyce ripped it away from him.

After retiring the first 26 batters in succession, Indians shortstop Jason Donald was called safe on an ground ball to first baseman Miguel Cabrera. Replays showed that Galarraga clearly beat Donald to the bag while receiving Cabrera’s toss, but Joyce called him safe.

Despite the call, Galarraga finished with the first complete game and first shutout of his career — a one-hitter — as the Tigers beat the Indians, 3-0, in the second of three games.

But this fat tub of shit, excuse me, Jim Joyce, should never ump in the big leagues again.  I’m sorry, if you can’t even make the easy plays when they count the most, how can we trust this utter moron with any call in the MLB?!?  The umps are there to correctly call the game, not to decide it.

Worst call in Don Denkinger.  FACT.
