Howry fell off the mound and threw a perfect eephus pitch as he went toward the ground.

injury delay? what happened? and wtf 59 mph slider?!?

Howry's spike caught in the dirt while delivering the pitch, which he somehow dropped into the strike zone while falling off the mound.

I half hoped his arm fell off...

I love it when fans boo on inside breaking pitches.

CUBS WIN!!!

[WTFCUBS]

W

[weis21]

CUBS WIN!

[kujay]

Wow, Chip is bitter.

 

Amidst the "Let's go Cubbies!" chants, the Braves color guy said, "you gotta give them credit. What a following."

 

And Chip says, "yeah, the bandwagon is full in mid-August."

[GoCubsGo1679625768]

I still don't understand why they threw @ Soriano? That doesn't make sense? Was it because Dempster threw @ McCann last game?

[jersey cubs fan]

I like that the announcer believes if you are going to wave the W you should be willing to wave the L if they lose game 2. Idiot.

[PrimeTime]

25 GAMES OVER

[NeifiIsMyHomeBoy]

W, lets get one tonight and Go Padres!

[WTFCUBS]

I still don't understand why they threw @ Soriano? That doesn't make sense? Was it because Dempster threw @ McCann last game?

 

Because he stood for about 3 seconds to admire his single.

Yeah, thats ridiculous. I've been to Atlanta a lot to watch the cubs, good teams and bad. There is always a huge cubs population in attendance.

[SouthSideRyan]

I think you guys are making a big deal out of it cause it's Chip. Bandwagon is a pretty general term.

[ConstableRabbit]

i mean, yeah, it's bad, but i wouldn't classify it as a big deal in an 8-2 game.

 

It's a big enough deal that Brenly is more than justified in criticizing Soriano. Not big enough to carry on all week.

 

 

And as a side note, it was big enough to get Atlanta to throw at his head,

I mentioned this earlier, but Dave said he thought it was because Soriano stole second with a huge lead, not because of the hustle thing. I think that's a better explanation.

What Channel is the 2nd game going to be aired on?

[badger1679666666]

So no one answered my question. To everyone whining and complaining and justifying Brenly's ripping of Soriano, do you REALLY think he's gonna do that in October in the playoffs?

 

I'm taking the silence in response to this question as the deep seeded knowledge, that allthough it's bush league, everyone knows it's not going to happen when the games are do or die.

CSN+ in chicago...fox sports net here in the south.

[GoCubsGo1679625768]

The Braves prove again they are the most classless organization in MLB.

I agreed with you.

[C.C.]

So where's the next game thread?!?!!?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Id expect that from some announcers, but not Chip. Youd think hed know better. Its not our fault he jumped onto a sinking ship.

 

Whatever, lets do it again tonight.

[gflore34]

Because he stood for about 3 seconds to admire his single.

 

I hope he does it again, no way should he let Cox and shameful tactics intimidate him, I've advocated brushing Carlos Lee back or even knocking him on his big ass never throwing at him with the intent to hurt.
