8/17 Cubs (Gemster) @ Florida (Volstad) 12:10p CDT, WGN TV

[UMFan83]

When the Cubs get beat to the bag but actually get in there before the tag, we always say "oh well they are going to give you that call when you're beaten to the bag." However when another team does it against the Cubs, they manage to get the call correct.

[Andy]

Jerry Meals wasn't done screwing us. That call wasn't even close.

I hate umpires.

[cheapseats]

LaRussa or Cox would be tripping over themselves to tell their pitcher to throw at Hanley during his next at-bat.

[Guest]

Now that was an actual bad call.

 

Horrid positioning by Fontenot though.

 

On the replay, Font did everything right.

[Roast]

LaRussa or Cox would be tripping over themselves to tell their pitcher to throw at Hanley during his next at-bat.

And Ozzie would tell them to throw at his head.

[Andy]

LaRussa or Cox would be tripping over themselves to tell their pitcher to throw at Hanley during his next at-bat.

The difference is that it might actually help our chances to hit him - we can't seem to get him out with any kind of consistency and whenever he gets a hit it seems like it's an XBH.

Crap.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fontenot flied out to deep left field

Baseball isn't as fun when you are losing

of course.

[Guest]

Come on, get a 2-out RISP in.

[UMFan83]

Sweet more stranded base runners. If only Font's hit was hit about 3 feet farther.

[UMFan83]

Now I wouldn't be against trying to steal third and hoping for a bad throw.

[Magnetic Curses]

another runner stranded in sp.
