Top 10 takeaways for the umpires costing Armando Galararaga a perfect game

With two outs in the ninth and a play at first base to clinch a perfect game for the Tiger starting pitcher, first base umpire Jim Joyce called Tribe scrub Jason Donald safe on a play that he later admitted was blown. Here's what you need to know about it.

7) Perhaps A-Rod was right about Dallas Braden after all

6) You just don't see umpires hugging players in tears very much, outside of very focused areas of porn

5) This will make instant replay lovers pule a lot, because if there's anything that a sport with serious pace of game issues needs, it's more instant replay reviews
