Baseball needs a form of instant replay or no tv replays aloud to be shown

What baseball really needs is an unbiased announcing crew to do the World Series games.  Joe Buck and Tim McCarver are the worst announcing crew in the business. But what do you expect from FOX anyway? If they were not the worst they would be on FOX.

Buck and McCarver are two National League "HOMERS" and couldn't praise the Astro's more if they had won four straight.

I agree that there needs to be instant replay, as the playoffs this year could have been much different had some calls been made correctly.  I feel sorry for the White Sox, as I have talked with several people who have said that their victory has been tainted with the unfortunate bad calls. 

One other thing.  I definitely feel that the integrity of the player should have had a part in naming the MVP of the series, because J DYe's integrity comes into question with his statement about taking the HBP in game 2.

Baseball does not need instant replay.  How many incorrect calls were there during the World Series?  Two?  That's very good, and one wasn't even questioned since it was just that close of a call.  If you want instant replay, then why even have umpires out there?  There's enough technology to where computers and camera's can get every shot and call.  Is that really what you want?

As for Dye's integrity, I hope you're kidding about that.  I don't know if you played baseball or do at all, but I know as a player that if an umpire gives you a call, you will not argue against it.  There's a fine line between cheating and taking what is given to you.  If you can sell a play, that's not cheating, it's a good play.  Had Dye argued at length that he was hit, then that's an attempt to cheat, but if he acts like he was hit, shaking his hands as if he was hit there, that's a sell.  Players do this all the time, even in the field players will sell the tag even if they don't tag the player.  It doesn't hurt your integrity at all.
