Didn't like a strike call

Flied out and then completely lost it. Yelling at the ump. Got tossed and then refused to leave the dugout for a few minutes.

Well, he got tossed for yelling obscenities at the ump...

after he flew out, he yelled “horse s$*t” repeatedly until he got tossed. He wanted to get tossed at that point.

by cubsonWGN4ever on Jul 31, 2008 3:54 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I give the offense credit...

they tore threw the Brewers’ two best pitchers (and two of the better pitchers in the league). At least six runs in every game.

by SouthernCub on Jul 31, 2008 3:56 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Agreed

But the Brewers have a dangerous offense and it took a great performance to show the rest of the rotation how it’s done. IMO. It’s one of those intangibles.

I remember saying this before the series started

Had a feeling this one would be like the 03 5-game series against the Cardinals that propelled us past them and onto the playoffs. This has the same feeling. This series is huge hit to the Brewers. We came into their house and showed them how its done.

Get a load of this crap that Ron Turner said about Favre

When asked if he would want Brett Favre on the Bears offense, he stated:

‘‘Not right now,’’ offensive coordinator Ron Turner said today when asked if he could envision the future first-ballot Hall of Famer in a Bears’ uniform this season. ‘‘Not with what we have. I like our quarterbacks. That’s not to say he’s not a great player, he’s one of the greatest players of all time. I love him. I love watching him. He’s a great player. ‘‘Not at this time and in this situation. We’ve got two good quarterbacks.’’

Um…So either he is joking and not wanting to release any information or he is completely CRAZY. He’d honestly pick Grossman and Orton over Favre? It amazes me that this guy still has a job.
