4/9 Cubs (Marshall) vs Deadbirds (Fat Drunk) 7:05 ESPN

[David]

That is BS... the freakin ump is squeezin the kid. :x :evil:

[Fro]

Barrett needs to go out and talk to Marshall

[Omar]

is anything a strike against the great pujols and rolen? such BS. The Cheeseburger lover better get the same strike zone

 

You should see the zone against Barry. "If Bonds doesnt swing, it's not a strike"

[Coach C]

Stupid ump. :x

[Flames24Rulz]

Edmonds fouls out to ARam to end the inning.

 

if we can't score 3 on Ponson, we don't deserve to win anyway.

[Outshined_One]

Yeah, that sucked.

 

Hopefully he can settle down and the ump at least manages to be consistent.

[CuseCubFan69]

Nice way to bounce back Marshall....that shows me something.

I thought that HR ball was foul. Would it kill ESPN to show the replay.

[Vinestal]

It was either walk him or throw it down the middle, the ump wasnt giving him the corners or anything else

[Jon]

Pretty good command with his fastball, at least. He just missed badly on the 3-2 pitch.

[Outshined_One]

note: first earned runs the Cardinals have scored since they hit town !!

 

And Albert Pujols is still hitless.

 

Hee hee hee.

[Sosa21MVP]

I think Marshall handled himself fairly well that inning. The ump squeezed him and he made a mistake. Well, welcome to the big leagues rook! 8)

 

But aside from that one bad pitch, he handled himself well. He got Edmonds out which shows me he did not get shaken up by the Rolen mistake.

 

Hey Cubs offense, help the kid out here.

[sherwood921]

I hope Ponson doesn't get in the way of my view of the Cubs hitters...maybe they'll be using a special camera angle tonight.

[Jon]

According to Jon Miller, the sun sets in the west side of Chicago.

[Outshined_One]

Fatty fat fat fat.

 

FATTY!!!!

It was fair.

Haha.

[Flames24Rulz]

where was that same call for Marshall, ump?

[Omar]

Oh so, that's a strike?

[Jon]

A tale of two strike zones...

[Fro]

What a bunch of BS... Ponson gets strikes called at the knees

[Rob]

I'm surprised Ponson isn't a better defender. You'd think he'd gobble up everything that goes over his plate.

[Outshined_One]

This might be a long night.

It was fair.

 

None the less they could have shown the replay.
