6/10 Cubs (Lilly) @ Braves (Carlyle) 7:05 ESPN

[killthegoat06]

No warning before the game. Such crap.

[Sarcastic]

This is ridiculous. You can't throw out the starting pitcher in the first inning unless there is an egregious offense.

[otis89]

BULLCRAP!!!! Why didn't you morons throw Hudson or whoever hit Gallagher out of the game yesterday?! :x

[Keener98]

How is Lou not losing his mind. No warnings before the game and hes ejected? This is crap. Freaking bs.

[Sammy Sofa]

So Cubs say no warning was issued before the game.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

im not watching, was that intentional?

 

It didn't look like it, he was already 0-2 on him.

 

This is beyond belief.

 

Soriano hits HR, Braves hit him on purpose with no consequences, Lilly hits someone on accident and gets immediately ejected, what a fantastic sequence of logic.

[UMFan83]

Yay for series splits! Damn, Lilly looked like he had great stuff tonight.

 

 

Why doesn't Edgar get tossed for walking towards the mound??

[killthegoat06]

That's ballgame.

[CrimsonTideCubsFan]

The umps should be embarrassed. No warning before the game and then he arbitrarily kicks Lilly out? Pathetic.

[Outshined_One]

Play the game under protest!

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

LILLY DIDN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING AFTER HE HIT HIM.....this is bull absolute bull....renteria better be tossed too then cuz he had to go out there instead of taking his medicine for soriano gettin hit

[Soul]

Lilly is a man of extraordinary self control.

 

I'm telling you, I'd just lose it and start hauling off on people.

 

This is the most stupid thing I've ever seen in my life.

[soccer10k]

I really hope that if the Cubs are winning big or losing big late in the game, they bean somebody else. The Braves deserve it.

[E.J.]

I'm furius right now. The ump basically screwed us over for this game and the next couple games because of this crap. There is absolutely no way Lilly should be thrown out for that. Terrible.

[Sarcastic]

Great, now we have to rely on our long relief for the rest of the game. This is just wrong.

[Brian]

what a joke.

[killthegoat06]

Joe Morgan actually said something I agree with...wow.

[CDBears1259]

Please, oh, please have Marmol throw the high heat and have Barrett "accidentally" miss the pitch.

[Mizzou]

This ump looks like a total jackass on national television. Congrats, bud!

[jjgman21]

Summary for those of us without TV?

 

Lilly hit Renteria first pitch, and now got kicked out.

 

it was the third pitch.

 

 

let's see. retaliate because a player beats you honestly, no problem. retaliate because the other team beans your guy without justification, ejection and probably suspension.

 

 

 

it's such a just world.

[Keener98]

So I guess if you walk towards the mound then you can get the guy ejected, but if you just take your base like Soriano then you can stay in the game. Lou better play this game under protest.

[Sammy Sofa]

Even Joe Morgan is saying this is ridiculous if no warning was ever issued before the game. He warned Lilly and the bench after the hit, then randomly tossed him two seconds later.

[otis89]

I really hope that if the Cubs are winning big or losing big late in the game, they bean somebody else. The Braves deserve it.

 

I'd bean the home plate ump.

[killthegoat06]

Is it because Lilly didn't go back to the mound?

[Butterscup1679666578]

load of crap. this umpire crew blows.
