Bummer for Kendrick owners

[NorCalAtlFan]

Major League Baseball has overturned a scoring decision from last Friday's game between the Angels and Royals, ruling Los Angeles' Howie Kendrick reached on an error instead of an inside-the-park homer. Kendrick was initially given the homer after Kansas City right fielder Jose Guillen misplayed a ball down the line. The Royals appealed the decision by official scorer Mel Franks, and a five-person appeals board voted unanimously to changed the ruling, taking away Kendrick's homer and giving Guillen a four-base error. Franks then approved the change. The decision took away two earned runs from Royals starter Gil Meche, dropping his ERA to 4.01 entering Thursday night's game against Baltimore.

I was watching the game and knew that it should have been an error. I actually thought that they would change the ruling before the game ended. I guess the good news for me is that I also have Gil Meche. The way things are going for my team right now I could use the lower ERA much more than the HR.



BTW, that headline of yours scared me. I didn't see any of last nights action and I thought maybe he got hurt.

I guess "good news" for us Meche owners. Anyone know if the change(s) has been made yet?
