8/25 Cubs (Lilly) @ Dbacks (Davis) 8:40CT WGN

[Soul]

Good point. There was a pitch just called a ball that the ump has called a strike tonight. Why can't the top baseball league on the planet get some competent freaking umps?

[IowaCubsFan]

Can someone please tell me how we keep striking out on Doug Davis's fastball when Gameday says the ball is over the plate. Are we accidentally facing the backstop once we get two strikes?

 

Because they think they're at a beer league softball game and are trying to hit a home run every single time they're at the plate. It's a pathetic display of hitting.

[Soul]

WTF he started home that's a BALK!

[Keener98]

For the love of God call the god damn balk

[IowaCubsFan]

WTF he started home that's a BALK!

 

A balk? The only time I ever see those called are against the Cubs.

[RynoRules]

Where's Aramis tonight?

[CubmanPi]

I haven't been following this thread at all, but has anyone been able to figure out how Davis isn't balking on that move to first? This is bullcrap.

 

Nice BB, Lee.

[Butterscup1679666578]

come on aramis [/false hope]

[Handlebar McSkullet]

databoy lee... good ab

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Now would be the time for Aramis to find his power.

[Alfonso Soriano]

Alright now Aramis will swing at 3 bad pitches

[IowaCubsFan]

Great. Watch Ramirez create 50 MW of wind energy trying to hit a 3-run homer.

[Keener98]

Aram, it sure would be nice if you decided to do something good

[Soul]

Christ almighty since when can a pitcher wag his leg IN MID AIR between home and 1st base?

 

This is stupid.

[RynoRules]

My bust - there he is.

 

BALK!!!!!!!!!!

[IowaCubsFan]

Ramirez would have been better off bringing his wedge to hit some of the crap he's been swinging at tonight.

[Keener98]

I haven't been following this thread at all, but has anyone been able to figure out how Davis isn't balking on that move to first? This is bullcrap.

 

Nice BB, Lee.

 

because MLB umpires are idiots That a boy Aram!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Way to go Ramirez!

[minnesotacubsfan]

thank you aram

[Handlebar McSkullet]

Great. Watch Ramirez create 50 MW of wind energy trying to hit a 3-run homer.

 

all right!!!!

[Alfonso Soriano]

My 3rd Prediction:

The Cubs will score at least 1 run this inning.

 

(I may be stretching it though)

I am 3-3 now. :twisted:

[Soul]

See what happens when you go the other way against a chicken pitcher who is afraid to challenge?

[IowaCubsFan]

Good. Singles. That's what we need.

 

Let's see what Monroe can do here.

[RynoRules]

YES SIR!!!

[Jazz]

NOICE!
