I’ve had alot of time to think about what happened last night, and being the resident Tigers fan at this site, they figured I should tackle this issue.

First off, let’s just say what the picture shows: Jim Joyce flat blew it. There’s no way to sugar coat it, or put some silver lining on it. Secondly, I’ll be honest, I didn’t see one second of this game, I was driving back from out of town, and had the hockey game on the radio, with no clue that this feat was going on. It’s a good thing I didn’t see this happen live, because I probably would not have a TV at the moment if I had. Hell, even the Indians, couldn’t believe the call. The baserunner puts his hands on his head like he just had a prank pulled on him.
Here’s a video of the entire 9th inning. Lost in all of this is one of the great catches I have ever seen from Austin Jackson to keep the perfect game alive. Watch the Indians bench after the call, even they can’t believe it. (more…)

The Morning After Pill is a daily recap of the previous days events from the sporting world. Certain teams and entire sports are left out due to an extreme lack of caring or crippling hangovers. It’s probably the hangovers though, and they might not even be crippling. That’s how we roll. Send tips to tips@ thegallyblog.com.
MLB
Nothing too exciting here, the Yankees won, Red Sox won…OH AND ARMANDO GALARRAGA GOT JOBBED OUT OF A PERFECT GAME BY JIM JOYCE ON THE WORST CALL IN MLB REGULAR SEASON HISTORY! SHIT!
- Ruined perfect game

Oh and the man with the prettiest swing in the history of baseball, Ken Griffey Jr. announced his retirement.
NHL
The Philadelphia Flyers do what the Canucks, and Sharks were unable to do: Win a home game against the Chicago Blackhawks, snapping their road playoff winning streak at 7 games. The Flyers win 4-3 in OT on a deflection from Claude Giroux to cut the Blackhawks lead in the series down to 2-1.
NBA
The NBA did what it’s players do best last night: Sat around, watched, waited for something to happen, and eventually let someone else do everything. The NBA Finals finally tip-off tonight. Prediction? No.
College Football
Rumor has it that Boise State will be joining the Mountain West Conference, and will be eligible to play games for them starting in 2011. And with that move, the MWC becomes more of a legit football conference than the Big East.
Golf
Tiger Woods will play in The Memorial which starts today. If he wasn’t, you wouldn’t be reading a golf update on here.
That about it for here. Go out there and make the best of the day.
