Do you run here?

[Guest]

The Marlins catcher sure wants to throw that ball at a baserunner.

[Hall7810]

Baserunners are 43 for 58 against Treanor.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Now would be as good a time as any for Lee to come through.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 66-27 when they get at least 8 hits..... 8-20 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Outshined_One]

Sometimes, it's better to be lucky than good.

[Mark_R]

I really like Fontenot in this spot. I think we got a tie game coming.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Gameday has strike one to Fontenot being in Cuba.

Gameday has strike one to Fontenot being in Cuba.

Wasn't a strike. Ump's been giving the Marlins calls that he's been denying the Cubs all night.

[TMan92]

Gameday has strike one to Fontenot being in Cuba.

 

And Gameday was correct.

[Mark_R]

Same [expletive] pitch.

 

This ump was awful all night

[Transmogrified Tiger]

And called again, unbelievable.

[Andy]

That wasn't a strike either.

 

BS loss.

[TMan92]

I think the ump had to go to dinner....GARBAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Andy]

Can't win when you can't get any big hits and the ump's wearing the other team's colors.

[Little Slide Rooter]

That was a very unenjoyable game indeed.

 

Fontenot never gos after those pitches on the outside corner, and hes always shocked when theyre called strikes.

 

As good as the offense has been lately, I guess they deserved the day off.

[Magnetic Curses]

that's the cubs vs. the marlins that we've all come to know and love. i hope we never ever have to play these lucky a-holes when it means anything again.

[Sosa21MVP]

The first and last strike calls in that AB were pathetic. Not even close!

[Hall7810]

Just horrible umpiring, but we had our chances.

[Soul]

So they ring us up on the same pitch they wouldn't call for Zambrano yesterday.

 

What a bunch of BS.

[Fred Hornkohl]

We only managed to score 1 run the last time Jerry Meals was behind the plate.

 

Coincidence ??
