I'm going to bed after this half-inning. I can't stay up anymore.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

PLEASE throw strikes Wuertz, or Piniella will forget that you are a decent reliever.

[Butterscup1679666578]

is this wuertz's 10th straight day?

[anabiono]

so, in regards to the "interference" call...if barrett steps into the throw at second and derosa's backswing makes contact with him...that can still really be interference?

[BCVM22]

I expected Sori to drop that.

[CubColtPacer]

Haha. Good thing Derosa didn't make contact on Lou's stupid hit-and-run.

 

Is Gameday wrong? They have DeRosa taking two balls, and then hitting the homer on the third pitch. Where in that is a hit and run? I assumed that it was a straight steal until you said that.

[JC]

So how does Marquis give up four runs this inning? Predictions?

 

 

Gets in a Deloreon, accelerates to 88 mph, goes back in time, and changes Lou's scorecard indicating he was taken out for Wuertz. Then, just pitches normal.

[Careless]

Someone needs to pull a Misery to stop Soriano's hop

[17 Seconds]

I expected Sori to drop that.

 

Everytime a ball is flied to left I feel like there's a 50/50 chance.

There was a swinging strike somewhere in there.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Greene pulls a Theriot and reaches first base. copycat.

Gameday is wrong.

Yeah, where Barrett claimed interference.

Pie did a hop on a catch in AAA tonight.

It depends on the backswing. DeRosa had a perfectly normal one that hit him incidentally on the swing. You'll usually see it called when the batter swings then hangs his bad behind his back towards the catcher, who runs into it while trying to throw to second.

Now if only Ryan could copy Khalil in the field.

Wuertz time.

 

I'm always in favor of letting the pitcher hit when you're going to pull him anyway.

I think we're a little short on the bench with Fukudome unavailable and 13 pitchers.

[Omar]

Can someone on GameDay please tell me if Ramirez's swing and a miss (last pitch) was a ball or strike?

[CubsGM]

Strikes!

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Can someone on GameDay please tell me if Ramirez's swing and a miss (last pitch) was a ball or strike?

 

It was a pitch just a smidge off the corner and knee-high. Technically, it was outside the rule-book strikezone. But it was really close, and that pitch is called more often than not.

[Careless]

How much tobacco does Cedeno have in his cheek? a pound?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Piniella just can't resist changing pitchers 18 times a game.

Miles claims Fukudome is available, didn't he?

[Sammy Sofa]

Oh my God, just leave him in!
