Let's get a/some run(s)/goal(s)
"This is an environment of welcoming, and you should just get the hell outta here." --Michael Scott
and now
Z hits Wise. The home plate umpire gets between the two of them. Z is being told to go back to the mound. Wise to first.
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.
Oh, bring it

Looked like the throw beat the runner.
and Riot just didn’t get the tag on him.

Lou would just switch Blanco & Theriot in the infield. I know it will never happen, but damn—the improvement on plays like that would be extreme.

Brenly airing out Theriot
Says that, on a steal attempt, Theriot always moves up to take the throw and reaches back for the tag, instead of staying back on the bag and letting the throw get there.
It's not the first time he's said that...
And he’s absolutely right. I don’t know why no one has talked to Theriot about it.
I think his comment was about most infielders, not just Theriot
…and he is right. The throw by Soto beat the runner. The ball can move faster than the mitt.

only because Soto didn't get up
a pitch out is the proper thing to do when you see the runner charging down from third—it prevents the bunt and gives the catcher an easy put out..if he gets off his butt and catches the ball. Unfortunately Soto was napping and it was called a WP.

Besides...

That's an interesting stretch we just heard.
on the radio. Wow.
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.
it was the organ only
and when they got to the Root, root root for the, it cut out, and all you can hear is the fans screaming AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH…
just struck me as funny.

Exactly
I think the stretch of games between now and the ASB will begin to indicate exactly what’s going to happen with this team, and a lot of others in the Central. Particularly if Ramirez comes back late this coming week, which appears possible.
by Not Bruce Froemming on Jun 28, 2009 3:31 PM CDT up reply actions
I'd take that
Cubs have three series against Central teams, IIRC, including four against Milwaukee and St. Louis. The other series is against the Braves, which is a winnable one. All but three of those games (the upcoming Pirates series) are at home.
If the Cubs are going to make a surge soon, this is the time to do it.

Yes, Soriano has a great arm. But he takes terrible routes to balls and just doesn’t give 100%. When’s the last time you saw him dive for a ball? I can’t remember ONE instance of that happening as a Cub.
I feel really gulty for giving my Mariners fans hell last year

I have to say I'm a little perplexed why there is so much doom and gloom in here.
It’s only a 5 run lead. Not exactly insurmountable, even in 2 innings.

I get that.
But it isn’t 15-0. Which I guess it kind of my point. People watch something and start subjectively feeling like things are much worse than they are b/c they get frustrated. But an objective view indicates that (even with a horrible first part of the game), there’s no reason they can’t turn it around in 2 innings and win. 5 runs isn’t that much.

true enough
And, I’ll add, your line of reasoning is probably what goes through the minds of players on teams that do mount terrific late comebacks.
You need momentum
The problem isn’t the 5 run deficit, it’s the goose egg on the board. There’s a different feeling between 5-0 and 6-1…
