8/24 Other Games

AJ did that on purpose. If a player on the Cubs did that he would be our hero, but still. AJ totally stuck out an elbow slightly to make contact. I hate when umpires interpret a rule that literally. There is no way AJ hitting that player had any effect on the play.

If I'm a team and I have to play the Sox at the Cell with Doug Eddings in the crew, I protest the game before it even begins.

[CubsBears29]

Hardy-Braun-Fielder due up.

 

Yeah. Chances of this game reaching the 11th inning do not look all that great.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Pirates fail to score in the top of the 10th.

[Andy]

IBB Thome, a strikeout and DP candidate, to get to Mr. .300 Alexei Ramirez? That makes no sense at all.

[Keener98]

Please hit into a DP just to shut Hawk and DJ up

[Little Slide Rooter]

So will this one end with a:

 

A. Walkoff by Hardy

B. Walkoff by Braun

C. Walkoff by Fielder

D. Walkoff by Hart

[UMFan83]

What I want to know is, how did Maddon not manage to be ejected arguing that?

[Guest]

I don't know how Hawk and DJ talk about these guys with a straight face. "Best baseball instincts in the game." What a joke.

If the shoe was on the other foot, Hawk would be throwing a temper tantrum.

 

Dag gum right this game will be played under protest!

[chuckywang]

Joe Maddon with the 4th infielder trick now. This should be good.

[UMFan83]

So will this one end with a:

 

A. Walkoff by Hardy

B. Walkoff by Braun

C. Walkoff by Fielder

D. Walkoff by Hart

 

A walkoff by Luckwick

 

Oh wait wrong team.

Definitely didn't work for the Reds last year vs. us

[ToupeeOnFire]

Joe Maddon has lost his mind.

[UMFan83]

One thing the Rays don't have to worry about is walking in the winning run here.

[ChiCubsFan]

What a play by AJ Pierzynski. Really?

[CubsBears29]

You bring Upton in to have 5 infielders, so what does the pitcher do?

 

Throws 2 straight pitches up in the zone that can be placed in the OF.

 

 

I know where the real blame lies (Eddings) - by reading this thread - but the Rays pitcher just blew that game literally.

[Andy]

Ugh. I hate horrible umpiring and I hate AJ Pierzynski.

[ToupeeOnFire]

On the bright side, the Cubs now have the best record in MLB.

[SouthSideRyan]

Doug Eddings shouldn't have a job as of tomorrow. Just horrendous.

[UMFan83]

I love how they now play "Go Go White Sox" a song they used to play during games, after White Sox victorys. I wonder who gave them the idea to do that... :-k

[Hall7810]

To the top of the 11th we go!

[UMFan83]

On the bright side, the Cubs now have the best record in MLB.

 

And will end the day as the only team with 80 wins :)

[bcruise]

Wow, Grabow just made that trio look awful! To the 11th!

[CubsBears29]

Alright Grabow!!

 

1-2-3 inning!

 

 

(really helped that both Braun and FatBoy struck out on horrible pitches, but we'll take it!)
