Here Comes Instant Replay

From ESPN.com:
Baseball umpires and management signed an agreement Wednesday that will allow the sport to start using instant replay to help determine calls on the field.

Major League Baseball still hasn't determined when the use of replays will start. Installation of equipment has been going on at ballparks, and officials have said they hoped to start using replay in August.

Replays will be limited to boundary calls, such as determining whether fly balls were fair or foul, or whether they went over fences.

As long as the use of instant replay is and remains limited to home runs and fair or foul balls I'm all for it. There have been far too many mistakes made lately by these umpires and this should cut them down a bit.

What is your opinion on instant replay being used in MLB?
