04/21 NY Mets (Maine) @ CUBS (Zambrano) 6:05pm, WCIU & ESPN

[CubsGM]

OH GOOD GOD, I just saw the umpiring crew. Eric Cooper was the one who blew the call at first, and take a wild guess who's behind the plate...

 

 

Angel Hernandez

Wasn't he the guy in that crazy Colorado game when we won on the rundown?

And wasn't he the one that ruined Z's no hitter in Arizona?

He was the first one, not sure about the no-no though.

I think that was Bill Mueller.

[chuckywang]

Good lord the ESPN crew is terrible. I am thinking about switching away from HI-Def

 

To what?

He was the first one, not sure about the no-no though.

He was the guy that called Ron Coomer out on a pitch at his eyes a few years back. Later during the 7th inning stretch the ex-bears player said something along the lines of "don't worry about that ump. I'll deal with him later" or something like that.

 

There was another questionable call that game but I forget what. I always remember the coomer strikeout.

To what?

I have the EI thing.

Sucks that's not in hi-def. If it was, it might be worth it.

[Butterscup1679666578]

[Roast]

Walk 4 on the season.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Castillo walked

I think it might be without it. These guys are fools.

CUBS are 4-1 when the opponent GIDPs.... 8-5 when they don't

[Roast]

Meh, it's only #4 on the whole year.

 

Besides - he got him out the next play anyway :-D

Gutierrez was called out when clearly safe at the plate in the bottom of the 6th. I believe that was the other one. By the time the stretch started fans were at their wit's end with him.

[Rob]

Z is getting a little amped.

[YearofDaCubs]

Z is just so damn good so far this year.

[haubrich91]

Great inning, Zambrano!

 

Come on. We have Lee, Ramirez, and Fukudome up. Runs, please.

[Flames24Rulz]

Time to get this man some runs.

Hey Fred, do you happen to know what Z's groundball rate is?

[SABR Gamer]

WTF Soto, he was doggin' it on that play....wow

you're joking..right?

 

haha yeah, I was just pissed at the ump, and am kinda tired of the usual ump bashing so I wanted to yell at someone else, I love Sotosaurus.

[splintersag]

Nice DP there.

 

Looks like this is gonna be a 1 to 2 run game
