08/30 Milwaukee (Parra) @ CUBS (Lilly) 7:05pm, WGN TV

[IowaCubsFan]

This team is ridonkulous. I was happy with the 30 game improvement between seasons. I hardly expected the rest of the division to fall back to us. Excellent. No matter what happens, this season has been a success.

 

Looking back, I thought it would take two years to rebuild Dusty's Disaster. In most divisions it would.

 

Thankfully the NL Central isn't like most divisions.

Against Wandy tomorrow, I'm expecting to see...

Is there any reason that Blanco didn't get the start last night with Z pitching?

With day game after night game coming up you either play Jason Kendall 2 full games in less than 24 hours or you play Blanco twice in 3 games.

I don't care if you're disgusted by it, or don't believe in it, but let's hear it for the real rally starter.

 

RALLY CREEPY AND HORRIFYING!!

anyway, I think the offense breaks out tonight. Soriano, Ramirez, and Monroe go yard.

 

Well, I got Soriano and the #5 hitter went yard :P

Obligatory "Corey Hart shouldn't wear his sunglasses at night" joke.

 

Or maybe he should wear them...

 

Anyway, I specifically went back through this thread to make sure that someone made this joke. I feel much better now that I know someone did.

How did they give Monroe a double there? I know they don't give errors when guys lose the ball in the sun and it falls to the ground. But that actually hit his glove, that's got to be an error.

It hit his glove when he raised it to protect his head because he had no idea where the ball was. If you don't call an error when the guy lets a popup fall 3 feet from him, I don't think you can call an error there either. Hart had absolutely no idea where it was.

He knew where it was, he tracked it until the last second. The glove was up before he lost it, unless you really think he just magically threw up his glove and the ball found it.

 

If Murton pulls that he'd get ripped to shreds. That's an error. If that game is played in Milwaukee they aren't giving the hitter a gift double.

Of course if Murton did it he would get ripped to shreds, just like when Jacque lost those 2-3 balls in the lights he got ripped to shreds. That doesn't mean it is automatically scored as an error (as much as I think it should-I think all those balls that are lost in the lights and which drop a few feet away from fielder should be errors, but that's not how they are scored)

 

I don't think we're going to agree on this. You think he saw the ball and that he just missed the catch. I think he saw the ball off of the bat and ran to where the ball would likely go, and then lost it and put his glove up in self-defense because he had no idea where it was. If it was a try at a catch, it certainly wasn't a very good one.

Jacque didn't lose those balls in the light, he lost them in the sky.
