Thome on at first
two outs, Konerko to the plate. 2-0 WS
I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.

if the meeting at the mound takes longer than the ump would like? Does he eject someone? Is it some variance of a balk, where a base is awarded for “delay of game” or whatever? Always wondered this.

I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings.

Riot to the plate. Ball one.
I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings.

he was practically in RC. he had a long run. you do have to slow down to get in a position to circle and throw to second.
