Expanded Baseball Replays?

In the wake of the unfortunate missed call that ended the 19-inning Braves-Pirates marathon, there's been some noise about expanding the use of video reviews of plays in baseball during the games. I personally hope this doesn't happen as the pace of the game, especially in the post-season, is already crippled by the TV coverage including extra pregame nonsense and painfully long commercial breaks between innings. Any other opinions for or against more frequent use of video reviews?
 
Baseball is too long as it is, adding more replays will only drag on this long game. Its different in Basketball, Football and Hockey because each game is on clock. if baseball had a time limit it wouldn't be so bad.
 
On the other hand, grossly wrong calls like that one embarrass the game and the umpires in particular.

How about giving each manager a very small quota (2 or 3) of times per game to request that the umpires view a replay?

That's a thought, thought I would say an absolute maximum of 2.
 
Agreed on limited number of challenges. They should also only be available for certain calls... fair/foul, safe/out. No strike/ball calls unless it's the pitch that determines if a game is over.
