    Anyone catch the Astros-San Francisco game last night? Hidalgo hit his second home run of the game but the ball bounced off a fence railing behind the homerun rail and came back into play. The stupid, idiot ref missed the call and he ended up with a triple. It would have been his 3rd consecutive game with 2 homeruns. But, instead...it wasn't. Not only did it blow his streak out of the water but it cost the Astros the game. So what? Well...we were on a six game win streak and it should have been 7 games.

    In my opinion, there should be certain scenarios in all sports that may warrant the use of instant replay. Certainly not all scenarios will warrant this. But, a home run should never be anything other than...a home run. This was a big game for the Astros...to prove their worthiness against one of the best teams...and the ****ing refs took that away from us. Their either too blind or too stupid to get by without instant replay.
