Eight weeks after the game ended on May 24, the Cubs have finally successfully appealed a scoring rule and got Greg Maddux's ERA dropped from 4.99 to 4.60.
A fifth inning play was changed from an infield hit for Hanley Ramirez of Florida to an error on Ronny Cedeno.
Meanwhile, the travesty of Jae Seo not getting a save for the Dodgers on June 23 against the Pirates has not been remedied.
Who will take up arms and fight the powers that be over this? We can storm the no longer impregnanble castle walls that surround baseball's official scorers! We can take over.
Or maybe I should get Bob Dylan to write a song about Jae Seo, something along the lines of "Hurricane." But maybe with a jazzier beat.
Here comes the story of Jae Seo's save
A situation that became somewhat grave
When the official scorer said no, sir.
Sent to Tampa Bay,
But once he closed a game with four innings' work

Here comes the story of Jae Weong Seo,
He earned a save, but the scorer said "no.
That's simply not how it's done.
Boy, you just gave up four runs.
I don't care if it was four innings that you hurled!"
