To me
it didn’t look like Ronnie had a chance due to the throw being up the first base line
"Very adroit in the outfield." - Lou, on Dome
At the time,
that’s how I saw it. I’ll rewind later and look at the play again, but I felt Ronny should have knocked the ball down. Not that Riot would have been there, and not that Ronny isn’t a solid fielder, just that’s the way I saw the play.

During last offseason I thought we could have some fun where everyone popped a baseball movie into their DVDs and we commented back and forth and had a chat while watching them.
We are all waiting for that glorious October night when we finally win it all. Until then we will continue to cheer, never do the wave and hope.

that radar map reminds me
of the flooded basements from my childhood days in suburban Chicago.
We don’t have basements in LA-LA Land!
THIS IS OUR CENTURY!!
Now all I need is for the Lakers
to lose tonight and it will make me a happy (happier) man in LA. I love seeing long faces on the fair weather fans in LA.
Cubs split and a 4-3 road trip. I’ll take it. We have a lot of road trips ahead over the next 30 days.
ENJOY YOUR DAY OFF, CUBS!!
THIS IS OUR CENTURY!!
Rich Hill
Well, the pitching would be in a better state if Hill was pitching like last year. Let’s just hope he can cut down on the walks and return with more confidence on the mound.
Lakers
The only reason I want the Lakers to lose is because of Kobe. I don’t hate him, but I just hate that the people think he is the next MJ. I know what Kobe is capable of doing, but most of the new NBA fans and analysts (e.g. Steven A. Smith) need to watch some of 90’s basketball and realize what MJ did to to the best of the best.
I want the Celts to win just because of my favorite NBA player Kevin Garnett. There are few bball players who have the heart and determination like KG.
Laker fans are so fair weather
they do NOT deserve a championship. I would love to see Garnett get this “loser” monkey off his back this year.
THIS IS OUR CENTURY!!
As Are Most LA Sports Fans
I’ve met a couple good fans, but the majority don’t know their sports and go to games just to make noise and ride the bandwagon.
Just want it the NBA season over so I don't care who wins

Kudos to Marquis
Very impressive performance tonight, gave the bullpen outside of marmol and wood some more rest, enjoy the off day tomorrow
"This is why Major League Baseball does not need instant replay, because then every single play will then be reviewed." -- Joe Morgan, 5/18/08, referring to an umpire ruling a Carlos Delgado homerun foul when replays showed it hit the foul pole.
Well thats stuffed my plans
I thought the game was being shown live on ESPN into Australia and we’ve just got to the bottom of the 5th and I was logging on to say Go Cubs lets hang in there and saw the final result!
Ahh well, at least its the result I wanted…LOL
