5/19 - Cubs (Maddux) @ White Sox (Buehrle) - 3:05 WGN

[Jon]

Swung at ball 4 and Ramirez with a sweet catch!

[goonys evil twin]

?????

 

Swing and a line drivvvvvvveeeeeeeeee pause pause pause caught by the third baseman, he robbed him.

 

How much of a liner, and how robbed could he be if it took that long?

[mul21]

Anyone know where the strike zone is today?

 

It appears there is no outside corner.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Iguchi blooped a single to right field

It was a line drive. Ramirez jumped so high that it took 2.4 seconds for him to come back to the ground.

 

Seriously, for a slow loafy guy, Ramirez can really jump.

[illiniguy]

If Jim Thome is still a cub fan he should throw these games to get us going.

That sounds mildly entertaining in a weird way.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Iguchi stole second base

[woodchip2153]

Goony, who are you listening to?

[WindyCity]

The strike zone is apparently going to be very small today.... not good for Maddux.

[johnnyba99]

Is the strike zone small today? It isn't like Greg to fall behing 2-0 to three hitters in a row.

[Master Shake]

I don't like this.. As far as I can tell, Maddog has thrown 5 pitches for balls already.

[cheapseats]

Thus far ump seems to be calling high strike but not the low strike.

Yes -- some very questionable balls early on....

[goonys evil twin]

Goony, who are you listening to?

 

XM, the home broadcasters (Farmer and ......., I don't know).

There were some pretty inconsistent calls in the top of the 1st, but Vanover missed two pretty clear strikes so far.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Well, at least it should be small for both teams, right?

 

Oh wait, that won't really matter because the Cubs won't lay off those pitches anyway.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Thome struck out (called)

[soccer10k]

Sit down Thome.

[Jon]

Don't flip your bat when you take a fastball right down the middle, Thome.

[louisvillecub]

He Gawn!

 

sorry..... :oops:

[cheapseats]

Ump is definitely calling the high strike. I'd be mad if I were Thome.

[sweetpeteman]

Ha, because I have the superstation, I get Len and Bob. Sweet.

[illiniguy]

Ump is definitely calling the high strike. I'd be mad if I were Thome.

Why cause you were on the Sox? That pitch was right down the middle.

[soccer10k]

It's always nice to come back from class and see the Cubs winning.

 

But it's not nice to see the Cubs give away the lead right when I get back.
