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

[Alfonso Soriano]

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

2 innings to tie it up without our team leader in home runs!

Go Cobs

[Brian]

Murton officially has more HR than Floyd

[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?

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

 

Yep, I'm the one being childish here.

 

You asked a question as to why Ramirez would argue there. I responded with why he or anyone else would say 3 words to the ump in that situation. Is it because I called the Cards a dogbleep team earlier? I honestly don't understand where I'm overreacting here.

<3 Matt Murton.

[CubmanPi]

5-4 loss anyone?

Nope. Astros have to score 7 runs to win, Cubs have to score 6.

[chuckywang]

Wow Milt sure isn't still bitter.....

 

I would be too if a fat ump took a perfect game away from me.

[CuseCubFan69]

Man I really wish Kendall had some power.

 

Or hit the ball where it's pitched.

[SouthSideRyan]

Milt always a pleasure to give you a 3 minute forum to grind your ax. And yeah Froemming's a huge ass and he called it a ball so that people would still be talking about him 35 years later, but seriously Milt, LET IT GO IT WAS 35 YEARS AGO.

[IowaCubsFan]

Is Soto up with the team?

 

I don't know why Piniella is so afraid to use him.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Burke popped out to shallow left field

[Have a seat, Neifi]

I don't mind Murton not starting since our defense in LF is so darned good as is. I'd hate to mess that up.

[Outshined_One]

To do so would tear the world asunder.

At least Froemming has been screwing the Cubs ever since, so it's not like he's done anything to let time heal the wound.

[CuseCubFan69]

Where was that pitch? Woody looks good today.

[Outshined_One]

Gee ump, where was that 0-1 pitch?

[SouthSideRyan]

Is Soto up with the team?

 

I don't know why Piniella is so afraid to use him.

 

There's no reason to pinch hit Soto for Kendall there. If there's a lefty still pitching next inning, then yes definitely go to Soto.

[CubmanPi]

He would have started in right, where the defense is wqually astounding.

Yeah. He's been wonderfully consistent in that regard.

[Have a seat, Neifi]

He still got a no-hitter.

Once a series he lets his presense be known.

I am NOT saying you're being childish. I just realize how inane this argument is right now and that the comment I made was very susceptible to a "you're a hypocrite" comment.

 

Maybe I just mis-understood your post. I just got a really bad vibe from it. It sounded like you completely overreacted to what I said. All I asked was why Ramirez argued, and then you completely over-analyzed it. "What? You call that arguing?" It's like we're getting into a semantical battle or something. You made it seem like I was being a biased Cards fan that was trying to terrorize him (that's the vibe I got).

 

Just drop it. It's probably my fault that it started, but confusion and misinterpretation are the only reason its continuing.

 

I should have just said nothing at all. You win. I'll concede this argument.

You are right. I really dont understand why Cards fans come to post in the other games thread here at all. They have a real good board with their game thread at gateway why come post in a other games thread here?

It's hard to miss him.

Shouldn't you be on your own board celebrating your win and not in here bating posters?
