So we were just gonna ignore that Braun kicked the ball away from Kendall there??

 

Yeah, shouldn't he have been called out immediately for that?

 

I'm pretty sure the ump made the out call physically after Braun kicked it.

[chuckywang]

Let's not break Capuano's streak here.

 

Capuano: You're a Dukie, but I have to root against you now.

[Vanilla Ice]

Woo-hoo. Chris Capauno. Why would Yost do this? Is he trying to get fired?

[SouthSideRyan]

Braun should be out after making contact with what is considered a ball in play. I'm not so sure the home plate ump didn't call him out, but he may have gone to the Doug Eddings school of umping and just made up the call once he saw the outcome of the play.

[CubsBears29]

Is Capuano a junk-baller??

 

*GULP*

[PrimeTime]

So we were just gonna ignore that Braun kicked the ball away from Kendall there??

Seriously. What should have been the ruling there?

 

A beating with a extension cord

[Alfonso Soriano]

Woo-hoo. Chris Capauno. Why would Yost do this? Is he trying to get fired?

No, he knows Jacque Jones will make him look like Cy Young

[SouthSideRyan]

Pitch count on Lilly?? Like 102?

[NYF]

Capuano in. cha-ching!

[weatherdood]

Capuano is going to pitch 4 scoreless.

[soccer10k]

Great, another lefty coming in.

Mildly harsh, but I'm ok with it.

[uppercase_D]

Why did they pull Para? Didnt he have a low pitch count?

[SouthSideRyan]

Blooper for us!

[weatherdood]

Kendall's OBP with the Cubs now over .400

[CubsBears29]

Finally! We get a bloop hit on our own!

[PrimeTime]

We REALLY REALLY need to win today.

[soccer10k]

Jacque will GIDP.

[Alfonso Soriano]

Jones is bound to ground into a DP right here

[DivineBovine]

This plate umpire should be beaten with an extension cord for his ridiculously inconsistent strike zone.

[weatherdood]

Capuano really chomps on that gum

[SouthSideRyan]

Um, so I just nailed Lilly's pitch count on the head. Good sign?

 

And he might have to stay out there depending on the offensive situation.

[Handlebar McSkullet]

Capuano in. cha-ching!

 

for the brewers cappy owns us.

[SouthSideRyan]

Parra threw 59 pitches. He's had injury problems throughout his minor league career, and I'm not sure he's really stretched out enough to be a starter yet.

[Alfonso Soriano]

Please take Lilly out Lou
