Talk:2007 National League Wild Card tie-breaker game

message: Had Holliday not been called safe, the Rockies would have had two outs in the bottom of the 13th.
*One from Carroll's sacrifice fly.
*One from Holliday being tagged out at home.

thread_title: A double play results in two outs, not one

message: After Carroll's sac fly was caught, Helton left first and kept running.  He was rounding second when the throw came in at the plate and most likely would have been safe at third had Holliday been called out.

thread_title: Please do not vandalize this page

message: It's not unanimous that the replay of the final play of the Rockies 2007 regular season is "inconclusive" ... here's a few links that suggest otherwise ...

thread_title:  Standings 

message: Does a section about the "controversial" ending really need to be included.  Holliday touched the plate, end of story.  NO ONE, i repeat, NO ONE made a big deal of this, the announcer questioned it after it happen.  No need for this section.  REALLY????? Standleylake40 (talk) 03:22, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The controversy and public discussion that followed is not only significant, but one of the major aspects of this game that adds to its historical impact.  To say no one made a big deal of this is laughable.  I am also one of those who believes Holliday DID touch the plate, but we should tell the whole story, not just our side.

replies: text: Thanks for reminding me.  Wikipedia reaps untold benefits from diligent watchdogs such as yourself.  Your efforts are greatly appreciated.  I just wonder why you keep removing the section entirely.  If you care that much about it, why didn't you just add the references yourself?  Do you go systematically through Wikipedia removing any and all articles lacking what you deem to be sufficient documentation, or only the ones that contain information you don't care to read?

thread_title: Controversy

message: In the 2nd sentence of the Aftermath section shouldn't it say "Prior to the 2007 playoffs Helton..." Obviously, Todd played in the playoffs before 2009.

thread_title:  Wrong Year 

message: A number of citations in this article unnecessarily include the publisher for periodicals and websites that have their own Wikipedia article. This information has no value to anyone wanting to check or track down references. For example, publisher=Washington Post Company for references to The Washington Post, or publisher=MLB Advanced Media for references to MLB.com, only make the article longer - significantly longer when repeated many times - without adding anything useful. Therefore I plan to  upgrade the article's citations to remove all such redundant publisher info, bringing them into line with the recommended use of the cite template (see Template:Citation#Publisher).  I'll also remove redundant 'location' parameters (e.g. work=New York Times|location=New York), as suggested by the template's usage guidelines. Please raise any questions here or on my talk page.

thread_title: Proposed removal of redundant publisher information

message: I'm removing the paragraph in the controversy section regarding the dropped ball.
MLB rule 7.06 has this comment "NOTE: The catcher, without the ball in his possession, has no right to block the pathway of the runner attempting to score. The base line belongs to the runner and the catcher should be there only when he is fielding a ball or when he already has the ball in his hand."
It is arguable that Barrett was "fielding a ball" while at home plate (some could argue that he wasn't).  Due to "fielding a ball" being debatable, this section should be removed.  Furthermore, it doesn't exactly contribute anything to the article, as both the play and call were already discussed.
