It was the worst ever and I couldn't believe that these guys (refs and umps) get paid to do this job. I now am a firm believer that we need more cameras on the field of play with an opportunity for the opposing team manager to call for an instant replay and a review of the play. Last year's officiating was pitiful and it's now time to eliminate "human error" in making crucial calls, especially during the playoffs and the world series.

If MLB is really interested in getting the calls correct, they should use instant replay in more situations. A challenge rule, sort of like the NFL.
