Nice "always dead-on" prediction Blue Mike,

I just like to point out how wrong he is as much as possible, since, of course, he is never wrong.

Boy, we have gotten some really bad calls this game.
First, the ball/strike calls earlier, that got Lou ejected. Now, we get the bad call on Cedeno’s grounder.

Ronny "rally killer" Cedeno strikes again
"Hey hey, kiss it goodbye! That one's in Milwaukee! Man oh man did he hit it. Isn't that something?" - Lou Boudreau, May 17, 1979
Hey
He hits a weak grounder to second. Even if he’s safe at first, he didn’t help. At least he could try to hit behind the runner. Think before you talk.

"Hey hey, kiss it goodbye! That one's in Milwaukee! Man oh man did he hit it. Isn't that something?" - Lou Boudreau, May 17, 1979
The pitcher isn't a moron.
He knows as well as anyone that the hitter wants to hit behind the runner, and he takes that into account when he throws his pitches. It’s not as easy as you suggest.
okay
the snippy “think before you talk” crap needs to stop. be nice to sue, or don’t talk at all.

is Aramis Ramirez. Last week, he hits and we win. This week, he doesn’t and we’re losing. Lee went 5-5 yesterday batting in front of Aram and didn’t score himself once.

I'll be honest.
I dislike futball, for the same reasons I dislike hockey and basketball. They all bore me to tears.
Basketball has plenty of stats...
...and football has very few stats worth paying attention to. I just don’t like the pacing.
Fair enough.

Your opinions are as pathetic as Joe Morgan completing a sentence

It was not clever of Blue Mike to announce here that Marshall is not going to last 4 innings. At the same time it would be equally idiotic for us to blame him now that Marshall last 4 innings. Let’s just leave it at that
Anyone know when Reed is due back?

Lou came out to argue balls/strikes, made it halfway to the first base ump, said his thing, walked away, and then the minor league plate ump decided to toss him for no apparent reason

Lou came out to argue ball and strikes (shouldn’t have), was headed back to the dugout when the home plate ump tossed him…
BTW, the called non-swing was CLEARLY a swing. Not even close.

There are a lot of little complexities like that.
A player can get charged for an earned run without a team getting charged with an earned run, for example.
Two outs, an error is made, pitching change
New pitcher gives up HR—earned run for the new pitcher, unearned for the team

Hey, it's a new century!
by cowsarecool220 on Jun 29, 2008 9:01 PM CDT up reply actions
Yeah.
If there was a runner left on the bases when the new pitcher came in, no runs are charged to the pitcher that let that runner on, however.
Also, if a runner on third scores on a passed ball...
...with two outs in the inning, the run is earned if the batter reaches safely, and unearned if the batter is retired or reaches on an error.
I'll just ask you when i'm confused
that’s worked pretty well so far. :-)

It was right after that
he brought up Banks, but then was cut short.

Those people complaining about the ump
Do you think Lou coming out helped our cause? I loved every minute of it, but it doesnt help the cause.
I thought it did, actually
The HP umpire had a look in his eyes after the ejection that seemed like he was shaken a bit. I don’t think it hurt.
by Shanghai Badger on Jun 29, 2008 9:12 PM CDT up reply actions
I think it helped for a while.
But, the ump is pretty inconsistent. The first three pitches to DLee were balls. He swung at strike three because it was the first pitch he got in the strike zone.

I'm sure Lou is still managing from the clubhouse
plus with the DH there is less to do in-game…

we lost that game, but things turned around right after that.

alright..it is going to be tough scoring 2 more now..so many wasted opportunities..
reminds me so much of NLDS last year. We were playing so good until the last game of the regular season..and completely looked clueless in the NLDS

Show me why that is even remotely important.

As would I.
And the Cubs promoted Gary Varsho and I rooted for him for the exact same reason.

I really thought Varsho was the answer, too. If not him, maybe Chico Walker.

Well, kcjones,
I’m heading to bed. I know you’ll be back around tnoight when we’ve all gone to post snarky replies. I wish the best and hope to see, for once, in a thread where the Cubs are winning.

b/c one series w/ the sox = a season ending play off sweep to a team we won’t see again for another year. Brill.

You can’t leave runners on base left and righ and expect to win.
