6/4 Mega Cubs (Lilly) @ Padres (Maddux) 9:05 WGN TV

[17 Seconds]

They're gonna score without a hit. Sweet.

[UMFan83]

What is this infectious? Jeez. You can go all year without seeing a balk, and the Cubs get 2 in 2 games.

[Derwood]

whee, balk

[islandcub]

Man I don't know what got into Wilfredo Ledezma and Barrett but they must have some kind of speed to make Cub pitchers nervous all of a sudden.

[Butterscup1679666578]

how in the hell is that a balk.

[17 Seconds]

What the hell is Bud Black doing?

[Yanksfan1523]

Why take Maddox out? Bunt him to 3rd. This may benefit the Cubs.

[TruffleShuffle]

if that's a balk then 90% of lefthanded pitchers balk every time they throw to first base

[Transmogrified Tiger]

That balk may be a good thing, we get Maddux out of there. Too bad they didn't try to hit away with Iguchi though.

[Little Slide Rooter]

So if we get out unhurt, the balk helped us by getting rid of 1995 Greg Maddux.

[erik316wttn]

Well, at least it got Maddux out.

 

Iguchi bunts..... seems like kind of an odd move, though. Maddux could have bunted the runner over. Why waste a PH doing that?

[JoshiQ]

What the hell is Bud Black doing?

 

Taking out Maddux so Iguchi can bunt? Say wha?

[17 Seconds]

So apparently Maddux bunting him to second is okay, but to bunt him to 3rd it requires a PH.

[17 Seconds]

I'm calling a Soriano assist.

[Derwood]

i'm still not sure why that was a balk

[JoshiQ]

Another huge out. Two innings in a row.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Popped straight up.

 

Maddux has the BABIP mojo, Lilly has the stranded baserunners mojo. So far...

[Butterscup1679666578]

nice. come on ted, one more.

[Careless]

I'm going to guess that Hairston's jaw weighs more than twice as much as Lilly's. Just the bone

[Transmogrified Tiger]

don't give it up with 2 outs now

[erik316wttn]

i'm still not sure why that was a balk

 

Because His Highness the Lord Almighty Umpire says so.

[Yanksfan1523]

Then they sac'd him to 3rd anyway.

 

Lilly get's a BIG out!
