6/16 Padres (Young) v. CUBS (BIG Z!) WGN 12:05 CST

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

well when i thought the cubs could knock out Young when the heart of the order comes up not what i was expecting

[98navigator]

Fontenot out 1-3 to end the inning

 

4 ejections? I only know 2

[jjgman21]

It looked like Young asked if Lee was alright, then motioned him toward first base, and said "I'm not throwing at you." I hate to say it, but I don't see anything that Young did wrong and I have no idea what set Lee off.

 

why are you so intent in defending young?

I'm not defending Young, I'm just looking at it from an objective perspective and Lee looks like the bad guy in this one.

No he doesn't

 

Lee was the first one to throw a punch. if there was nothing racial said, it's Lee's fault, plain and simple.

bad guy? he almost took a ball to the head, after the atlanta series and what peavy said i can't blame him for getting in young's face and taking a swing at him.

[Wilson A2000]

I really got to give it to Marcus Giles for getting Young out of the way. Nice work.

[jjgman21]

alright Z, don't be a spaz.

Go cheer for the Padres.

[kujay]

Well, Z's response should be interesting. If he throws at someone and gets tossed, Lee should be swinging at him next.

[tfarks]

Heres to hoping Z doesn't bean anybody...

[98navigator]

I want Z to drill a Padre in the freakin head next inning.

 

NO! we have to win this game!

[Wilson A2000]

How long will Lee be suspended? 5 games?

Peavy and Gerald Perry are the other two. Of no consequence, of course.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Who got ejected besides Lee and Young?

nice idealism on the concept of manhood there.

 

winning the game is the payback we are after.

[Guest]

Oh boy. Gerald Perry ejected. :cry: :cry: :cry:

 

Otto said he thought Young said, "are you okay?" And after Lee said he was, Young said, "then take your bleeping base." Or something to that effect.

 

Correct, but he said something after "base" which I can't tell and I've rewound TiVo 3 times to try and see it.

Young hit him on purpose! You have to believe it considering what the Padres said in the paper yesterday. They threatened to bean someone.

Lee, Young, Peavy (Peavey?) and, I think, the Padres' hitting coach.

[Magnetic Curses]

guarantee he beans the first hitter.

 

he just doesn't care.

[kujay]

How long will Lee be suspended? 5 games?

 

Well, Barrett got 10. So let's presume it will be lower than that.

 

I'd say 5-7, probably closer to 7.

[CubinNY]

If Z nails someone it is not the end of the world.

[Magnetic Curses]

guess not, good restraint shown by z.

[98navigator]

Greene out LF

It has nothing to do with cheering for the Padres. I want the Cubs to win, but I'm not watching the game with my Cubs blinders on. The visual evidence is pointing toward Lee starting the fight without any significant verbal provocation.

[kujay]

No effing excuses. They have to keep winning through all this crap.

[Keener98]

Lee gets the benefit of the doubt from me since hes always so calm and cool.
