9/17 - Reds (Arroyo) @ Cubs (Hill) 7:05 CSN

[Smack]

Looks like we're going to have to win since the Brewers now lead 4-0.

 

Not that worried about them, the Cubs control this thing.

 

I truly believe a 7-5 minimun over the next 12 takes this thing.

 

I just really want to make it out of this series with the lead. Will be tough facing probably the best of the Reds staff, while the Brewers are facing 3 nobodies.

 

True, I just like that the Cubs have the lead, as opposed to relying on another team to lose.

 

We are still relying on another team to lose. If both teams win out we're tied.

[BigSlick]

The Brewers are running a clinic on poor Matt Alber, so we need to hang on here and put some more runs up.

 

Good start, now.

[CUBZ99]

Who is Soto?

[Lockes Eye Scar]

more adventures in bunting coming up.

[inari]

Are you KIDDING me? Phillips wasn't even kind of on the bag.

[Fred Hornkohl]

My god, what a screwjob.

[SouthSideRyan]

That was very poor umpiring.

[Careless]

Umpires and their ilk... wow. such incompetence.

[inari]

I just hope Hill doesn't tire on the basepaths...

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soriano struck out swinging

[inari]

This may be the single worst umpired inning in history. Two fairly obvious calls have been called incorrectly.

[SouthSideRyan]

That swing at least coulda gone either way, wonder if Lou argues at 2nd if we get a makeup call.

[Anomalied]

WTF?! Who paid off these umps?

[Schwarber Fan]

I just hope Hill doesn't tire on the basepaths...

 

Sorian0-2 and TherI'mslumping(ot) should take care of that

[genbar]

Frickin' ump queefed on that forceout.

[BigSlick]

Are MLB Umps cheating along with NBA reffs? It would explain a lot.

[otis89]

WTF?! Who paid off these umps?

 

The Brewers.

[SouthSideRyan]

Cedeno should probably get a look down the stretch, Theriot looks bad.

[WrigleyinEngland]

Ha Ha Ha , gotta love this partially sighted umpire crew

[Lockes Eye Scar]

I don't see the big deal about the play at 2B... it happens countless amount of times during the season

[BigSlick]

Huge breakout inning for the Astros, plz.
