Is replay really the answer?

For those who don't know, last night in baseball (yes I'm referring to baseball here for once), there was a terrible call last night that cost a pitcher a perfect game. The call can be viewed here.

With that missed call, the first thought many had was, "Why is there no instant replay to change the call?"

While instant replay will likely be expanded in baseball at some point, I come to argue that its not always the best thing. We can even screw up instant replay. Dr. Saturday over at Yahoo Sports has his opinion on it looking at the Oregon-Oklahoma onside kick controversy in 2006.
