7/13 CUBS (Zambrano) vs. Astros (Jennings), 1:20 PM CT, CSN

[E.J.]

Now that was a 7th inning stretch rendition.

 

Decent rendition. But, Jim Belushi is still a hack.

 

I'd take that over Scottie Pippen any day.

[jersey cubs fan]

I wouldn't say I get worked up about it, its just funny that everytime there is a ball in there a certain percentage of the crowd goes wild.

 

I think "wild" is a bit dramatic.

 

What works for you Webster? Excited? Jumpy? Animated? Wound up?

 

:wink:

 

Yeah, excited. I'd get excited too. Everytime it happens people on here whine and call the fans idiots. I think it's unfair and unrealistic to expect them all to perfectly judge the trajectory and likely outcome of the play on contact before expressing any excitement. Bases loaded is going to put everybody on edge in the first place. Any home stadium that is at capacity in that situation is going to see a similar reaction. They aren't idiots because they get excited.

It's not out of market for me. According to MLB, I'm in the Astros market.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Here comes the slider to Soto.

[E.J.]

Nice throw. :lol:

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Soto reaches on Loretta's throwing error and advances to third as the ball ricochets off the camera.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Marmol grounds out 6-3. End of 7, 4-0 Cubs.

After 4 days off, the pen is rested. Why not pinch hit for Marmol there?
