Yeah sure, the regular season is about to close.

But hey, since it’s never too late to try something new, they’re still giving it a go for the remaining games of the 2008 MLB baseball season. Instant replays have always been able to tell game officials if the call made was right or not and finally, the league has decided to take advantage of it.

This should put MLB baseball in a better position to bring in fans as well since these guys, with the new instant replay thing, will see less of their team getting screwed by a stupid call made by an umpire, although this doesn’t guarantee that boredom won’t get you every single time you watch nine guys dance around a field for six hours straight.

MLB management and their umpires agree that using instant replays is the way to go, signing an agreement that will allow the sport to start using replays to help in making calls in any game.

The said deal was signed by lawyers for the commissioner’s office and the World Umpires Association (WUA) a day after WUA spokesman Lamell McMorris went public with complaints over negotiations.

‘’We reached an agreement. Final decision with respect to moving ahead has not been made yet, but we have an agreement with the umpires,'’ baseball’s executive vice president of labor relations Rob Manfred said.

McMorris, after criticizing management, also confirmed the deal.

‘’We’re going to move forward with the understanding the sides will come to the table later and iron out some of the remaining issues,'’ McMorris said. ‘’Instant replay will be a work in progress.'’
