Wow...sure glad Soriano is adding that much needed ooomph to the top of the lineup!
What is the point of leading him off when things were working so well? Anyways, have to listen to this game at work so “GO CUBS GO!!!”

Reed Johnson does have a tendency to be a sort of ballhog out there, but that was probably his ball to catch

Ofcourse that was his to catch
He’s the CF….When he is calling for it, the RF needs to get the feek out of the way.

Dome made up for his mental error earlier in the inning
and threw Fielder out at home on a single. Fielder barrelled into Soto who hung on to the ball for 3rd out of inning

DIRTY.
That was a little dirty. Fielder shoved his elbow into Geovany’s face. WTF? You’re not supposed to lead with your shoulder and arm like that. Way to go Geo. Helluva throw from Kosuke too.
Alan Trammell: Assistant (to the) Manager
by northsider on May 1, 2008 3:00 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Not dirty...
that’s exactly how you do it. You lead with your shoulder and forearm as a runner. Otherwise, you take the brunt of the collision yourself. It’s a painful play for the catcher, but that’s the way it goes.
by SouthernCub on May 1, 2008 3:01 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Not how I was taught.
You don’t go for the face. I was told you’re supposed to cross your arms and just run into him. NOT go for the face like the replay seemed to indicate, although such a thing could be inadvertent on Fielder’s part too.

Wendall, as in Wendall Kim

Alan Trammell: Assistant (to the) Manager
by northsider on May 1, 2008 3:04 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
To be honest...
I don’t think he was aiming for anything but Soto in general. You’re running full speed and trying to deliver a blow. It’s hard to line up your hit exactly in the chest if you don’t do it regularly.
And what you were taught as a child has a lot more to do with the fact that little kids shouldn’t be hitting other little kids in the face. It’s a little different at the next level.
by SouthernCub on May 1, 2008 3:04 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
FYI - Brenly agrees...
it was a high hit, but not a dirty play. Just good hard baseball.
by SouthernCub on May 1, 2008 3:05 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Even so.
It looked like he was trying to elbow him in the face. I realize it’s a hard play, but still.
At least we can take heart that it wasn’t Barrett, who probably would have slugged him. ; )
Alan Trammell: Assistant (to the) Manager
by northsider on May 1, 2008 3:06 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I don't think he was TRYING to elbow him in the face...
again, at full speed, you’re just trying to deliver a big blow. It’s hard to aim when you’re running that hard. I really don’t think he was trying to elbow Soto in the face.
by SouthernCub on May 1, 2008 3:08 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Which is why I said it could be inadvertent on his part.
Alan Trammell: Assistant (to the) Manager
by northsider on May 1, 2008 3:09 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Wasn't arguing with the "inadvertant" part...
I was arguing with the “dirty” part.
If it was intentional, it was dirty. I do not think it was intentional. Thus, I think it was not dirty.
by SouthernCub on May 1, 2008 3:12 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Semantics.
I said I thought it was dirty, but it also could have been inadvertent. You win, congratulations.

You didn't say "I thought."

To clarify...
My replies to your “I thought it was inadvertant” weren’t arguing. Just pointing out my view of the play. I agree that neither of us can know what is actually the case. Please don’t take it so contentiously.

Alright, so one fan
from the other team agrees, while 10-12 people from here say he’s automatically safe doesn’t constitute homerism?
I didn’t misinterpret anything, I’m saying that once he was tagged, people automatically thought he was safe because a) the crowd boo’ed, b) Piniella came out and c) it was a close call. It could have gone two ways, yes, but the sudden comments brought up right afterwards only went one way.
Before you try to correct me, read what I’m really trying to say before you get offended.

Maybe you should read what other people said instead of telling me to read yours, which I characterized correctly. I don’t think anyone based their decision on “the crowd booing” or “Piniella coming out” or just because it was a “close call”. They made their decisions based on ….. the replay …. that they saw … with their own eyes …
And it’s not just one fan over there. Go count them at bizarro BCB. Go ahead, I’ll wait. Just about everyone who piped up over there agrees it was a bad call. I’m not offended, just stating what’s obvious to anyone who doesn’t want to cry “homerism”.

And then the replay from several angles confirmed it.
Fuku was indeed robbed, and I hop it doesn’t come back to bite us in the end.

WOOD CANNOT CLOSE
Too pumped up to be effective…Marmol should pitch the 9th from now on.

He didn't walk him. He hit him.

Wood won’t see the 9th inning for weeks now

great
i have come to the conclusion that people on this board love it when the Cubs are losing, hense:
1. they only come on at this time
2. they love to bitch and bash but not back up their statements
3. they continue to post the same ideas about how this team sucks in more than one post

There's no way that should have happened with 7-8-9 up. Marmol
would have shut the door on them

Gagne is just as
bad, but has a few years more experience as a closer…
What a shame.

I'd much rather have people from BrewCrewBall
come over here and bash the Cubs, at least they say they don’t like the Cubs. It’s like the trolls here have some kind of annoy-the-hell-out-of-everyone magic to alert them once the Cubs are losing.

If you all want Marmol to close....
Who’s going to get us out of those tight jams like earlier today?

We are not bashing the Cubs
but you have to admit Wood has not done the job he was paid to do.
