8/28 Phillies (Hamels) @ Cubs (Dempster) - 7:05 WGN TV

[Little Slide Rooter]

Crush it DeRo. The Phils have the meat of their lineup coming up.

[Ski]

i would like to nominate CSN philadelphia for worst camerawork in history on that home run. they showed a wide view of CF like the guy was parked under the ball. then ARam is trotting around the bases and I'm thinking wtf just happened, they made it look like a routine fly even though i thought he drilled it.

 

The insanely ecstatic fans should have given it away.

From WGN's cf camera angle, I thought he popped it up and the fans just over-reacted to a routine fly ball.

 

That's what I thought too and then I saw the CF not move and the way ARam was posing I though he was just pissed. Then the ball went into the seats.

I thought it was a no doubter right off the bat.

 

2 on, one out! Stay hot, Dero!

That's what I saw as well. It looked to me like a smoked fly ball that would land in center field.

 

I was presently surprised though ;)

[TruffleShuffle]

I LOVE YOU, CHARLIE MANUEL!!!!!!!!

 

:yahoo:

 

i don't understand why people say things like this. you can't dump on managers for ruining young pitchers, and at the same time goof on them for removing a guy who's thrown 108 pitches in 7 innings and would likely surpass the 120 pitch mark with another inning.

[Old Style]

Need to get Hamels out of the game.

:hello:

[Ski]

Should've been ball 3.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Why is not Edmonds on deck? Balls to the lefty righty thing.

[UMFan83]

This is boring. The Cubs are so far ahead of the Brewers and Cardinals, that there is no discussion about this game on their forums. I love going on there and seeing "and of course the Cubs hit a grand slam and take the lead. I HATE ramirez!!!"

[Ski]

Another walk and a GS would be nice.

[Brian]

REED :x

[UMFan83]

Well that was annoying Reed.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Dumb.

[bcl412]

uhhh Reed. WTH

[Sammy Sofa]

Well, that was dumb.

[Ski]

Argh, Johnson. Can't this pitcher do his job and pitch?

[Moises a loo]

The best part is their bullpen was already worn out coming in.

[bcl412]

Let's hold them.

[Old Style]

Damnit Reed!

:banghead:

[Brian]

well that got sucky real quick.

 

Please make it quick Woody

[UMFan83]

OK Woody is about to pitch his 4th game in a row and he is about to face the heart of the Phillies order. Please do this Kerry!

[CubsBears29]

Plz be good, Woody, plz be very good!!!

 

:beg:

[CubinNY]

This team is so frakinging amazing.

[Ski]

I cannot describe how crushing it'd be if we lost this game. Please, don't be gassed Woody.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Well that went south in a hurry. Come on Woody, finish them.
