5/1: Brewers (Gallardo) @ Cubs (Z), 1:20, WGN

[Outshined_One]

that strike three call looked generous

 

Tad bit, but the ump's had a weird zone today.

[Brian]

NSBB outing to the Chiefs game at Wrigley, anyone?

 

:(

 

plenty of time to plan a trip

I assumed it was just Gameday

I still have yet to see the point of the random black horse on top of the snowy mountain in that Busch Light commercial otherwise filled with drunk kayakers.

 

i don't even understand the point of busch light advertising. if people are poor, they'll drink it.

 

trying to conquer the natty light demographic

[TruffleShuffle]

Felix and Ronny clearly pulled a Raffy on somebody's wife.

 

To be fair, Pie is being outplayed by his rival for playing time, even though the sample isn't meaningful.

 

I'm really not comprehending what the excuse for Cedeno is.

 

pie's "rival" has a sparkling .679 OPS against RHP... johnson isn't good enough against RHP to justify playing him over a prospect who's trying to find a groove.

 

I agree, but I can at least see a sane case for the opposite.

 

i can see a sane case for continuing to play a guy who has been at 370/433/481 over the past two weeks.

[Careless]

130 BBs in 27 games? wow

I'd rather stay sober

What's really stupid is that it's at the exact same time as the Cubs game @ Milwaukee.

 

hey, cub fans might sell out two parks that day.

there's nothing wrong with drinking natty light or busch light...

 

until the next morning, of course.

why is Soto still hitting 7th again?

[Outshined_One]

Seriously ump, the left handed batter's box is not the plate. Get your eyes checked!

[Schwarber Fan]

why is Soto still hitting 7th again?

 

Kosuke and DeRosa get on base alot, setting Geo up for 3 run homers. I think he was up 4 times with 2 guys on base last night.

[Andy]

Soto takes 3 balls and strikes out. This is the single worst ump I've ever watched.

[E.J.]

Jesus. Better swing at any pitch in the left-handed batters box.

[illiniguy]

Were any of those really strikes?

[Careless]

well, no reason to throw anything in the zone, it seems

[Hairyducked Idiot]

And what information are you intentionally omitting?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

catchers can't bat higher than 7th

[Schwarber Fan]

Soap Dropping Gallardo throws strikes... dammit Edited May 1, 2008 by Rondon Fan

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Were any of those really strikes?

 

Yes. Hella good pitches painting the black, too.

[wekse]

i can't see the game but the ump seems to have a very large zone today, no?

[Outshined_One]

Were any of those really strikes?

 

Quite honestly, no.

[illiniguy]

Were any of those really strikes?

 

Yes. Hella good pitches painting the black, too.

The last one was on the chalk of the other batters box. That is not a strike.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

i can't see the game but the ump seems to have a very large zone today, no?

 

Not really. There's been a lot of borderline pitches called strikes, but they were all very close either way. There haven't been any Eric Gregg moments.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Yes. Hella good pitches painting the black, too.

Camera angle is playing tricks on your eyes.
