Re: 5/25 Cubs (Lilly) @ Pirates (Maholm) 12:35 PM WGN

That was one crazy bounce.

[Careless]

the umpire helps you

 

That'll do it. 5 this week. What a superb week for MLB umps.

5???

Wow

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Did that hit the top of the wall then glance off some dude into the air and back onto the field?

[UMFan83]

Yay 7 home games due up after today. Time to win some more. I wish we didn't only play 20 home games in June and July. We're going to get our brains beat in with all those road games.

[justin23iu]

Clearly the baseball gods are trying to show us that they want instant replay.

[laryan]

i think the ball hit the top of the wall but also made contact with the concrete behind the wall which is why it came back into play. it would be impossible for a ball to bounce backwards on its first bounce on a flat surface

[JGalt73]

So if it indeed hit the wall (I'm on audio), how does Soriano not catch it?

He just kinda stood there

Typical Soriano left field adventure. He got turned around and too close to the wall, he had no chance.

He gave this kinda half-assed jump attempt, idk what that was about.

[Yeti]

Thanks to all for the color commentary - I have an all too vivid image now!

Score runs, losers.

ok, i'm still drunk, but reed johnson is batting 5th? lou must be drunker than me

[Sosa21MVP]

It was a valid HR call based on the replay WGN just picked up from the Pirates cameras.

I agree. Lou must be on a Memorial Day weekend bender.

[justin23iu]

How so?

Pat sounds drunk as well.

Wait Len & Bob say it isn't a HR? I don't know anymore, I'm lost. If the ball hits the top of the fence, isn't that a HR? :scratch:

[Careless]

Brilliant, lou

[killthegoat06]

I hate the cubs. Lou: how do you pull lee for blanco?

[UMFan83]

Horrible. This team needs to get the heads out of their butts.

 

Where is Tom Gorzelanny when you need him?
