Soriano "dinger"?

as in “home run”? So it’s 2-0?

McCarver

hey Tim, when a guy throws a first pitch strike 9 out of 20 times, and another guy is 11 out of 23, then NEITHER has thrown a first pitch strike “most of the time”.

by the descriptions of how close it was

if he had a better arm, he’d get the ball there faster.

Ehhhh

I also agree w/ THAT throw and of course there have been others but if you’re going to tell me that then I assume you believe he’s saved Rammy’s ass just as much, if not more.

Agreed.

I’m definitely not arguing that point. It’s a trade off though.

He was out.

Yet another shityy damn call from this shitty damn crew. He was calling him safe before he even touched the bag. What a collection of dillweeds.

Kent ground up the middle, Theriot gets to it, throws

over. It’s bang-bang play, but Hernandez is calling Kent safe before he even touches the bag, so it doesn’t matter.

That’s what pisses me off. He already had his made mind up. He was safe.

little flare over th bag, Theriot one hops, and throws to 1st

looked like a tie to me.

by californiachicagoan on Jun 7, 2008 4:28 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Theriot throws wide of Lee, Lee leans over to make the catch.

Ump rules him safe, but replay looks like Lee got the ball just before Kent got there. Of course, ump couldn’t see the ball in Lee’s glove like we could on the replay.

have a bet on the Dodgers? We don’t get any calls. Pathetic.

I dunno - that third strike on Kent last night was pretty pathetic

and I’m pretty much a Kent hater. I think this crew just sucks period.

Bad call by the ump haunts the Cubs.

Interesting that Piniella says we haven’t gotten a close call yet in the series. Given that managers get in trouble for criticizing the umps, that’s saying something.

by Cubfansince1957 on Jun 7, 2008 4:27 PM CDT   0 recs

when you are in a pitcher's ballpark

and the umps keep making calls that cost us a run each game, it really gets under your skin.

let’s just post a crooked number and put this one in our rear view mirror. then the umps won’t matter…hopefully.
