9/23 Pirates (Gorzelanny) @ Cubs (Z) 1:20 PM CDT WGN/720

Lee was definitely carrying the piano on that play, leg's gotta be hurting

[illiniguy]

Lee appeared to be slower than what im used to seeing on that one.

He used to hit 30 plus homers a year too. Did he age 20 years this offseason?

[E.J.]

Nice catch rabbit.

[Careless]

Practically ballet.

[CubmanPi]

Yea Sori!! I pretty much always expect those to fall in for opponents anymore.

[SouthSideRyan]

OK, did he seriously jump on that play?? It's fine when you're camped under it Alf, no need to do it on the run.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I can't believe Lee didn't make it with that bobble. The guy is definitely not as fast as he used to be.

 

Wondering if that foul ball to his knee is hurting him.

 

I think it is. He appears to hobble some when he runs.

[anabiono]

Nice catch rabbit.

 

nice call

 

he has a new nickname now

 

:P

[E.J.]

Soriano definitely has a career on Broadway if he decides to quit baseball.

Back to Lee being out at the plate for a sec:

 

It seems like we see very little attempt these days by players to run over catchers. Why?

 

Or are there more times and I'm just missing it?

[E.J.]

Nice quick inning for Z. More runs please.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Zambrano is sharp today, but I'd like to score more than one [expletive] run.

Probably not worth the risk of injuring yourself on the play compared to how likely it is the catcher drops the ball.

[illiniguy]

For as well as we have hit the Sox fan, wish we had more than 1 run.

[E.J.]

I was thinking the same thing. If Lee runs into Paulino there's no way Paulino hangs onto the ball. He barely held on to the ball as it was.

[Careless]

That Bud Light "he has an axe!" commercial always makes me wonder if they're drinking the beer in the car

[Mizzou]

God the Rams suck

[vj9999]

BS call.

[E.J.]

The umps are hosing us today.

[illiniguy]

Should be ball 4.

[SouthSideRyan]

The ax commercial annoys me(all Bud Light commercials do) because the guy was right! He had an ax, but he clearly wasn't a murderer.

[E.J.]

Monroe is about as bad as it gets.

[UMFan83]

Wow what a surprise, Sucky suckface sucked again

[rickrolled]

why not just play Jacque over freakin Monroe?

[SouthSideRyan]

Monroe looks baddddd up there.
