WTF? That wasn't a strike??!?

[Roast]

That was an ugly AB.

For the ump. Kosuke should have EASILY walked there.

[Butterscup1679666578]

I guess that was a make up for the first strike

Seriously? That was at his chin

 

Hahaha, I like how your last post said it was at his shoulder and this post it was at his chin. ;)

[illiniguy]

I hate this game.

Your really gonna dislike it afte this half inning.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Gallaghers going to have to run a rough gauntlet here. Lets see if he can make it through.

Chin? Come on. It was just above the letters at most.

[UMFan83]

Fukudome doesn't put together good at bats against Lefties

 

I'm almost positive his OBP against lefties is near .400.

 

.392 coming into today.

 

Wonder if a lot of that was in April and May though because it doesn't seem like hes a good matchup against most lefties lately.

[Old Style]

DAMNIT FUKUDOME!

 

Why did Lou not pinch hit for Fontenot when they brought the lefty Logan in?

[Schwarber Fan]

Man, so many terrible breaks this game - Soto's screamer being caught, Edmonds running the bases, no help from the ump.

 

I can't believe the rain hasn't come yet.

[UMFan83]

We're tied, but it feels like we are losing by 3 for some reason.

I comes after they score one this inning and the game is called after the fifth.

in kosuke's batting stance, his chin is usually in line with his shoulder

[BigSlick]

You know what, that last inning relieved me a little.

 

We're still hitting the ball hard, we're still walking, we're just getting fairly unlucky with things. Edmonds being slow of foot, a couple balls hit right at people, etc.

 

And its still tied

[Schwarber Fan]

We're tied, but it feels like we are losing by 3 for some reason.

 

For every Cubs 0 runs in an inning, you might as well give the Sox 3

 

I'm watching this half inning on mute

[CubsGM]

And its still tied

Wait for ittttttttttttttttt.............

[Outshined_One]

If this were 2006, the Cubs would already be down 7.

[Roast]

DAMNIT FUKUDOME!

 

Why did Lou not pinch hit for Fontenot when they brought the lefty Logan in?

Mind explaining to me what kosuke did wrong there?

 

Was it the horrible strike that he took for the first pitch or was it the pitch at his eyes he didn't actually swing at?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Dye popped out to second base

[UMFan83]

Thome is due for a HR here. I just have a feeling.

[illiniguy]

If this were 2006, the Cubs would already be down 7.

If this were 2006 we would be waiting for Mark Prior to come back to save us.

Dude we get it the ump is inconsistent. He still swung at an awful pitch on 0-1 and he went on the last pitch.

[BigSlick]

Why is that pitch a ball? Thats a strike for the Sox?

[Outshined_One]

Would have been funny if Thome threw his bat there.

[UMFan83]

Thome is due for a HR here. I just have a feeling.

 

Yay I'm wrong. Only a walk
