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

this is an annoying inning.

[Sammy Sofa]

WUERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTZ.

[Soul]

Pretty hard to watch when teams are just going to pound the outside against every hitter we have, then an ump comes along and decides to give them 2 feet off the plate to work with.

 

Lou should have come out and got in the ump's grille tonight. This is stupid. I don't care if the ump gives it to both teams, it's still just plain old NOT A STRIKE.

 

Yup, exactly. The Cubs are fighting for a playoff spot and getting screwed with a ridiculous strike zone, but the new Lou just sits there and takes it.

 

Why does even a known fiery manager become a teddy bear when he puts on Cubbie blue? Not saying he should blow up all the time, but Lou's never done this in his entire career. Why?

[UMFan83]

STOP THROWING YOUR SLIDER IN THE DIRT YOU IDIOT

[IowaCubsFan]

Agony. Absolute agony watching him pitch.

[TMan92]

He threw a fastball...Holy crap.

Older and mellower?

[Sammy Sofa]

That was a lot of drama for what will amount to a whole lot of nothing.

Disappointing. You ever think that the Braves got those calls because Bobby Cox was such a redass and got ejected all the time? I do.

 

I agree, I think it can definatly have an affect on an ump

[Butterscup1679666578]

rally? lolz

[Soul]

WUERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTZ.

 

Let them scream his name @ Iowa next year.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Well we need two or this one is over.

[soccer10k]

rally? lolz

 

If by rally you mean 1-2-3 inning then yes, rally.

[Soul]

They needed to dress that chick in a bikini in that McD commercial.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Thanks John Madden ;)

I thought old people were supposed to be cranky.

[rickrolled]

I miss the April Wuertz.

[CubsBears29]

I bet Wuertz walks Jackson... who wants a piece of the action??

 

How in the hell did Wuertz pitch that whole inning and we are only still down 3-1???

 

 

Well, fake rally time again. DeRosa singles; Murton singles-DeRo to 3rd; Jones Ks but wild pitch-DeRo scores & Murton to 2nd; Ward singles, Murton to 3rd, 1 out and tying run at 3rd; Theriot hits into the game-ending 5-4-3.

[Butterscup1679666578]

derosa will double but that's all.

I dunno, but it seems like that 1 fiery Lou episode is all we are going to get. He said he was embarrassed big time by it.

 

Another bs call on DeRo Jesus

[IowaCubsFan]

Valverde has lost 4 games, so it's not like he's unhittable.

 

But I'm sure we'll make him look that way.

[minnesotacubsfan]

wow, this guys delivery looks like he is about to fall over

[CubsBears29]

Better be ready to have to fall into the LHB (or RHB) to hit pitches boys, cause you know they're gonna live out there.
