LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – Viewers tuning in for the 100th episode of “Lost” next week will be served an extra dose of mystery. Entertainment  |  Television  |  MediaSources said ABC will be launching a stealth promo campaign for new series “Flash Forward” during the episode, in which Daniel Faraday (Jeremy Davies) will come clean about what he knows about the island.While questions from the dense mythology of “Lost” probably will be answered in the episode, the commercial breaks are sure to raise a host of new ones with perplexing snippets that might direct viewers to a Web site.The mystery spots will in fact be for “Flash Forward.” They are said to be part of an elaborate marketing campaign for the drama, which has not officially been picked up but is quietly being positioned on ABC’s schedule for next season.From the moment in September when the “Flash” spec script by filmmaker David S.

They know if they’re initially wrong on a close play, they can just overturn it after watching the replay.While it’s important to get the call right, even replays don’t always provide a definitive answer. Then, who knows maybe balls and strikes.And that’s not what baseball is about.Human error is part of the game.  The lack of instant replay is why, in my opinion, baseball has the best officials of any major sport.Ever since replay entered college football, referees have gotten worse. It wouldn’t have taken more than a couple minutes.But of course there is no replay used in baseball.Should there be?Ever since it was introduced in football, I thought it would be a good idea in baseball as well for home runs only.In other words, I didn’t think it should be used for anything but to determine whether or not a ball has gone over the fence or, if it had, whether it was fair or foul.But then I realized this was a horrible idea.If instant replay was available for such calls, inevitably it would be used for close plays at the plate. I’m the one who [expletive] it up so you can put that in your paper.”Those are the words of Bob Davidson, the home plate umpire for last night’s game between the New York Mets and New York Yankees.With two men on in the fourth inning, Mets’ first baseman, Carlos Delgado, hit a scorcher down the left field line. Arroyo is making $3.95 million in 2008, but will make $9.5 million in 2009 and $11 million in 2010.
