Looks really close on the replay. I withdraw my complaint.

I wouldn't. Didn't seem close to me in the least.

Horrible call on the strike 3 to Soriano blue.......way to blow that.

[TMan92]

Screw you Woody Williams

[Flames24Rulz]

Classic Cubs, blowing 1st and 3rd with only 1 out.

[Careless]

I didn't think it was close at all. He didn't go.

The video shows that you are wrong. He went just past the behind-the-line camera angle, so he swung just behind the line. It was close, it was a bad call, but it's a close call and the umpire can't have a good angle on it.

[kylescubs23]

Why do we have to always make it interesting? Can we for once put a team away? This is the same thing that happened Tuesday.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Eyre in to pitch for the CUBS

Classic Cubs, blowing 1st and 3rd with only 1 out.

 

Scoring a ton in the first, then having crappy ABs the rest of the game (sans DWard).

[treebird]

soriano is the argument against the claim that clutch hitting doesn't exist

 

soriano close and late

 

.320 .363 .507

[Fred Hornkohl]

Scott singled to center field

[SouthSideRyan]

It's arbitrary start point boys and girls.

 

From July on for Eyre

the second biggest problem with anti-clutch arguments (which is yours, here) is that they ignore that clutch is relative and different for every player

[Mizzou]

I don't like going to the pen this early with four games in the next three days. Bad decision by Lou, in my opinion.

Scott's been great lately, still too many baserunners though.

Did you watch the first 5 innings?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Loretta called out on strikes

Both were first pitch swings, but fair enough.

Go see a doctor because you are ill.

Did you see Steve Trachsel's performance?

 

We also have about 10 guys down in the pen.

Trax was done. It's the right decision.

No swing. Not football, but If it were reviewable it wasn't close at all really.

You must be joking.
