9/2 Cubs (Mountain) vs. Astros (Comedian) 1:20 WGN

[CuseCubFan69]

Red gets um going! Now the Cubs are only way behind by 1. Games over boo hoo...games over.

[ninetynineplus]

ankiel thought it was the 3rd out and didn't throw it back in.. kept running toward the wall... no damage done though.. man on 1st, 2 out... 3-2 cards..

[illiniguy]

Because it was a ball. Aram doesnt argue EVER, Ill tend to believe him on if it was a strike over you or the jackass behind the plate

Different umps have different zones. Len and Bob agreed it was a called a strike all day (their words, not mine). If its a pitch that is consistently being called, then yes, it is a strike.

You really think you should be arguing in here, with cubs fans, on this subject?

[SouthSideRyan]

 

You didn't ask why he'd take the pitch, you asked why he'd argue, what the hell do you expect? It's a pitch he's had called on him a few times today(not that exact one, I thought the others were further outside) and he hasn't agreed with it all day, when it winds up being a called 3rd on you in a key situation, what else is he gonna do?? And if by argue you mean say 3 words to him, then yes he argued. It was a quick unnecessary tossing.

Calm down, dude. Honestly.

 

Did I miss something here? Calm down?

[IowaCubsFan]

Cards win 3-2. Crap.

[Alfonso Soriano]

You are completely overblowing everything I said. (I know what's coming next -- "you should talk.")

[Outshined_One]

Sidearm lefties rip Jock to shreds.

[illiniguy]

[CubmanPi]

It's nice to hear Pappas unloading on Froemming. Great stuff.

[PrimeTime]

5-4 loss anyone?

[Have a seat, Neifi]

Man I really wish Kendall had some power.

[CubmanPi]

Another quick inning, but with a solo shot - 2 innings left to tie it up. Keep it here, bullpen.
