Instant Replay shot down in Chicago

With the recent announcement from the GM Meetings in Chicago this week that MLB will not be extended instant replay for the 2010 season, it has become apparent that MLB is not attempting to better itself in the slightest. When the executive VP of baseball operations in the Office of the Commissioner says the following - "I think commissioner Selig is going to look at the entire umpiring structure and he's going to seek ways to enhance the entire structure" - as a way to rationalize the irrational decision by Bud Selig, it only shows me how distantly out of touch the leaders of MLB truly are. I do not believe that the comment above makes any sense. The idea that instant replay will not enhance the structure of umpiring leads me to believe that Selig thinks that instituting instant replay is somehow going to make the use of umpires obsolete, thereby putting his friends out of jobs. The only human element that we should remove is Selig, and hopefully soon.
