Tonight Armando Galarraga of the Detroit Tigers threw the 21st Perfect Game in, only the umpire incorrectly called the last runner of the game safe, ruining the Perfect Game and the no hitter. He finished it off by getting his 28th consecutive out.

I was watching the game from the beginning. After the blown call I screamed "No!" at the TV over and over like a madman. Gah, I feel sick. What should be a joyous moment for all of the Tigers and their fans has turned into a twisted mess thanks to one blown call.

Players were screaming at the ump. Right now I'm watching the catcher that called the game (Alex Avila) cry during an interview. Just horrible.

Here's a pic of the would be last out ... http://www.mlive.com/tigers/index.ssf/2010/06/armando_galarraga_comes_within.html
