Damn it.

Somebody needs to line one off the ump.

Randa grounded out to third, 5-3, J Wilson scored, C Wilson to second Edited May 2, 2006 by Fred Hornkohl

The lead runner is out, the umps are just to chicken sh!t to call anything for the cubs.

FWIW, the Buc announcers speculated the ump was thinking that because he fielded the ball in the basepath, Wilson had to go around him.

 

On another note, why didn't Ramrirez check the runner????

 

Oh, we're damn lucky this inning!

[otis89]

Figures. :x

[ToupeeOnFire]

::sigh::

[cheapseats]

I don't blame the umps. Make sure you get the damn tag Aramis!

 

No. If he goes to get Wilson, he doesn't get the runner at 2nd. It should have been a DP. The umps just blew it.

please watch the language.

[CubinNY]

and the bite hurts.

[ManCrushOnNomar]

If I'm Dusty I'm playing this game under protest.

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

ARAM if you're not gonna hit at least play defense....damn umps...sorry sean welcome to chicago

[Flames24Rulz]

That blown call better not come back to bite us.

 

i'm not going to blame that. Rather our pathetic offense with a bases loaded no out situation and failing to score one run out of that.

[KatJ]

I don't blame the umps. Make sure you get the damn tag Aramis!

 

Better one than none.

 

Meanwhile, the strike zone continues to elude young Sean.

 

Grounder makes it 1-1. :x

[Schwarber Fan]

Thanks Ump...

[Choonch]

We just got screwed...he was WAY out of the base line.

[RyCubsFan]

I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooo pissed off!!!

 

How can that be an earned run on Marshall?

 

1. Ramirez defense = really bad this inning.

2. The umpire completely missed that call about the baserunner.

 

This inning should be over.

FWIW, the Buc announcers speculated the ump was thinking that because he fielded the ball in the basepath, Wilson had to go around him.

 

Shouldn't matter, the fielder has the right to be in the basepath to field the ball, and even if that happens the runner doesn't have the right to leave the basepath.

[KatJ]

Thanks Chump...

 

Fixed.

They looked up the rule here and justified this.

[sunnydoo]

Freaking Wilsons. Everytime we lose to the Pirates, they are involved.

 

Jack Wilson = Jeff Blauser imo.

[CubinNY]

If I'm Dusty I'm playing this game under protest.

I don't think that call is protestale. It is worth gettng thrown out of the game for.

[Brian]

Marshall showed some big league poise there.

I don't expect a whole lot out of Mabry and Marshall with the bases loaded.

 

Losing a shutout and the lead on a blown call makes me mad.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Nice job by Marshall pitching his way out of adversity and bad umpiring.

He had already fielded it and was going to apply the tag, therefore, he was out. I hope we beat up on Santos next inning
