7/29 Cubs (Z!) @ Reds (Belisle) 12:15 pm CT, WGN

[Old Style]

BULL SHEET!

[Guancous]

The Reds announcing crew showed the video in slow motion. They both agreed it was a home run.

[pitchcs]

Wow, we just got screwed.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

It's your only job on that play to get out there, West. What a tool.

[bhogg]

Hosed. Play under protest.

 

 

YOU'RE GOSH DARN RIGHT WE'LL PLAY UNDER PROTEST! THAT'S BS!

[Mizzou]

Joe West is garbage. He moved 3 steps instead of running out to get in a good position.

That's why it pisses me off to see lard ass umpires. Get some guys who actually care about their body, and will as a result have the endurance to do their job.

[Guancous]

I'm hoping that botched call is a moot point by the end of the game.

[CubColtPacer]

The only positive thing-that's the 4th ball that Soriano has hit either over the wall or off the wall in the past 1 1/3 games. He's hitting that hot streak again.

[illiniguy]

Wonder what Joe would have called there if that was a dunn or griffey hit?

[Z38Cubs]

And nice job by the other idiots on the crew to give him some help. Unbelieveable.

Joe West is a jackass, Soriano got screwed

 

Which is why MLB needs to get tougher on umpires with rampant egos.

 

Sure, what Tim Donaghy did in the NBA was wrong and he should be rightly punished, but umpires with egos bigger than the stadiums they're in also affect the game and that should be cracked down on as well.

urgh Zambrano not running costs us a run.

Dad gummitt!

[killthegoat06]

Yay cubs.

[cubfan1955]

You really don't know?

[E.J.]

I don't think Z knew how many outs there were on that Soriano high fly. :lol:

[inari]

why give the pitching team the benefit of the doubt when it's their fans reaching over?

 

Because Joe West is an idiot?

[rynefan]

Lazy BS umping.

[Yeti]

urgh Zambrano not running costs us a run.

???

You really don't know?

no, i know. What i really don't get is why baseball doesn't do something about it.

MIGHT AS WELL STOP HITTING HOMERS WE WON'T GET EM CALLED ANYWAY!

[Keener98]

urgh Zambrano not running costs us a run.

 

Thats giving the umps credit that they would have gotten that right too though

[TysonCBulls423]

urgh Zambrano not running costs us a run.

???

 

If he's running hard, he could have been awarded home.
