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

Did Johnson fall down, he can't be that slow, I could've made that a closer play

[Yeti]

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

 

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

ok, screw this i'm off to get more beer

[CubsGM]

Woo!

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

 

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:

 

Only if it bounces over the fence and out of the field of play

[splintersag]

God, now our players are just gonna feel sorry for themselves for that blown HR call, and give up, even though Lilly pitches a good game.

 

I can see it: 1-0 Pittsburgh win.

Or if there's one of those neat yellow lines on top of the wall.

Trade Lou Piniella!

[JGalt73]

I'm not sure what's worse the strike 'em out, throw 'em out DP with no outs or the inning-ending type. I guess the former is more deflating, but...

Never mind.

Another series lost. Ted is throwing up the meatballs today.

[BCVM22]

Good to see what kind of day it's gonna be.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

The sucky Ted Lilly is back.

[CubsGM]

Ballgame

[killthegoat06]

Chris, why the pessimism? Best record in the National League isn't good enough for you? It's time you realize the Cubs are a good baseball team. You can do it, I believe in you!

This is why.

[mul21]

Lou needs to go on a tirade and get suspended for about a week to get his dumbness away from the team for a while. His ridiculous overmanaging and mismanaging is just pissing me off.

That is what I was thinking of. So if the Pirates had a yellow line on that wall, it would have been HR due to different ground rules? I was just thinking I know I've seen home runs that hit a certain point on a wall and bounced back but were still considered home runs.

Hes not fooling anyone today...

[UMFan83]

I wish we had a legit number 2 starter

[killthegoat06]

I wish we had a legit number 2 starter

or a legit manager.

We look tired today. I fully expect a blow out by Pit today.

[splintersag]

Now it's meltdown time, Ted

 

We look tired today. I fully expect a blow out by Pit today.

 

^Shouldn't the pirates be tired too?

[TMan92]

That's OK...the bullpen is rested.

Now it's meltdown time, Ted

You'd think so eh?

I think its a little less tiring when you win the night before.

[bcruise]

Wow, Paulino is slow.
