NLDS Game 3: Anti-Pythags (Livan) @ Scrubs (OPR) 5PM CST TBS

[wastra]

No other player in the world lets that pitch go by in that situation. Our best player did it.

 

 

*sigh*

Time to get out my Mark Grace D-Backs t-shirt.

[CDBears1259]

Screw you, ump and Theriot.

Don't forget Ram.

[hardcorecubfan]

Ahhh, there we go - let those pitches right down the middle of the plate go by!!! I thought for a second this wasn't the Cubs with the patience, but Ramirez brings it back to typical Cub baseball.

 

If this weren't so sickening it would be hilarious

 

that is called patience at the plate :roll:

Ramirez watching the same corner twice > Theriot's DP.

 

Those were ball when Hill threw them. They resulted in one out.

 

Those were balls to Soriano and Theriot as well.

It should never boil down to the umpire. The Chicago Cubs just completely suck the big one.

[Guest]

Can we get robots to call balls and strikes please?

 

 

God, I couldn't agree more. I'm sick of this crap. Not one consistent strike zone this series. Not saying that's why we're losing, but it's not helping us.

 

I haven't seen a consistent zone in any of the series so far.

[cubscausestress]

come on rich. keep it somewhat close. i can't believe i actually think that might happen. positive?

[Derwood]

Strike 2 was a ball but strike 3 was a strike. Either way, should be bases loaded with DeRosa up.

 

watch the zone go down to the size of a postage stamp for Hill now

 

but hey, only the best umps for the playoffs, right?

[Cubzfan64]

That was a strike - not a ball - it was right down the middle of the plate - besides, it was far too close to let go by.

 

I find it hard to blame the umps for our own team failure

[justin23iu]

Come on people, stop blaming umpires. Whether that's a strike or not, it's certainly borderline, and you don't take borderline calls with 2 strikes. Horrible job by Ramirez.

[hardcorecubfan]

Livi9an is 32???? ya right, 42 maybe

[rynefan]

That at-at with Aram is a perfect example of what keeps him from being a great player.

[justin23iu]

And the replay shows it was clearly a strike

[Cubzfan64]

That at-at with Aram is a perfect example of what keeps him from being a great player.

 

LOL - 0 for 10 for the series. CLUTCH!!!!! :P

[katway]

After 3 balls, Ramirez just expecting a walk, so he parked his bat on his shoulder.

[Have a seat, Neifi]

Livi9an is 32???? ya right, 42 maybe

It's amazing that considering how much he's worn down after all these years (read: Jim Leyland) he's still just 32.

Somebody refresh my memory. Which is the team that spent $300,000,000 in the off season and which is the rag tag band of no names?

Strike 2 was not a strike, strike 3 certainly was and Aramis needs to swing at that.

derrek lee says hello

[rynefan]

You can put Aram and Arod in the same boat I guess.

[Cubzfan64]

After 3 balls, Ramirez just expecting a walk, so he parked his bat on his shoulder.

 

I mentioned it the other night - I'm convinced we have a good number of hitters who decide before the ball is thrown whether they're gonna swing at it or not.

Our guys are rag-tag millionaires

[killthegoat06]

[Have a seat, Neifi]

And there's your makeup call.
