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 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 up reply 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.

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.

Raise your hand if you predicted a sweep. I sure didn’t. I thought 2 out of 4 would be nice, considering the Cubs’ road problems this year and the fact that they had to face Sheets and Sabathia. When they won the third game yesterday, I thought they might relax a bit today and let a bad pitcher keep them down. Didn’t happen. The team made a real statement this week after several weeks of mediocre playing, and I think this can carry through August and September.

Gagne was pitching to Jim Edmonds who had hit two homeruns earlier
Threw 4 straight inside balls and the 4th was BEHIND edmonds. The ump immediately ejected Gagne with no hesitation whatsoever. Yost came out to stupidly argue but the ump wasn’t buying it.
Next inning Eyre was pitching to Prince Fielder and he didn’t like a questionable strike. He then popped up, slammed the bat to the ground. As he was walking back to the dugout, he started screaming HORSESHT! HORSESHT! to the ump. Bye bye Prince.

Agree
I watched Harden a lot out here in the SF Bay Area and I was VERY happy that Billy Beane traded him to us. Bad for the A’s, though. When Harden is on and not hurt he is as good as any pitcher in the league.
However, a close second today has to be Jim Edmonds performance today. I never thought I would root for Edmonds. I wonder what the Padres are saying these days about Edmonds.

Had to catch innings sporadically
The two key moments I saw:

2) Edmonds’ bases-loaded moonshot
I predict a Brewers downward spiral so severe they miss the postseason. Nice knowing ya, babies!
