[ChiCubsFan]

There is a rather fat old man who always wears a pink giveaway 1990 All-Star Game hat who is regularly seated in the front row behind home plate.

 

He just introduced the vintage hat to the backstop bricks in a violent manner.

 

Are you my stepdad? He just came into my room about 15 minutes ago to tell me about that guy and ask if I notice him too.

[cubweiser03]

SOB a DP

[TruffleShuffle]

you know it's a bad call when harry kalas is laughing at the umpire and saying he missed it.

[jjgman21]

wow this umpire is terrible.

 

I had zero problems with him until Rollins ab in the 5th. since then he's gone to hell.

 

what irritates the hell out of me is the Phillies keep complaining, and they keep getting the calls. anytime any Cub makes any complaint it seems they get punished for it the rest of the game.

[Magnetic Curses]

ooooh joe table.

[TruffleShuffle]

burrell and iguchi have been on base 5 times between them.

 

yeah well they can thank jock for two of those and blue for one

[Magnetic Curses]

derosa overdue for a long one.

[TruffleShuffle]

[Magnetic Curses]

[jjgman21]

I have a vivid memory of the Cubs' fascination with giveaway hats in all sorts of glow-in-the-dark hues back in the early '90s, and I noticed this guy's hat early in the season. He's shown up with the same hat numerous times since, but tonight was the first time I've seen him do anything but scowl.

[da bears]

i didnt have a huge problem until these last two strikes. what the hell's he looking at. and murton please do something.

[Prior4CyYoung]

I am surprised Lou has yet to get thrown out of this game.

[TMan92]

This ump is a freaking joke. It is like Naked Gun out there right now.

[TruffleShuffle]

don't worry i'm sure mlb will watch the tape of this game carefully and discipline the umpire for having such an inconsistent and one-sided strike zone. Oh wait that's right umpires don't have any accountability.

[jjgman21]

was every one of those pitches as up and in as they looked on gameday?

 

yep.

 

 

what did strike three to Burrell lool like on gameday.
