Re: 8/30 Phillies (Myers) @ Cubs (Lilly) 2:55 Fox

Did Dick Stockton really take 10 seconds to figure out if that was fair or foul?

Yep. The ball hit the wall, fell down to the ground, and then he said it was fair.

 

I almost wish that this game wasn't being aired out here. And that's solely because of Dick Stockton.

then another 10 to figure out Rollins wasn't going to third.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cotts in (6th) to pitch, Fontenot in (9th) at 2b for the CUBS

[Fred Hornkohl]

Rollins took third on a wild pitch

Cotts sucks *sigh*

Do they ever call the "not getting out of the way of a pitch" rule in the pros? I can't remember the last time I saw it called.

 

1965 against Don Drysdale.

 

Joe Crede early in 2005. Harrelson lost his mind over it, Darin Jackson said the batter isn't required to get out of the way, Crede was ejected and Jermaine Dye wound up playing SS.

[UMFan83]

Geez Myers is really impressive today.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 53-18 when they get a quality start.... 32-32 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

We had our chances, just couldn't cash in.

[Vinestal]

Geez Myers is really impressive today.

I hadnt been impressed... we had him on the ropes several times and failed to cash in. I hate stranding runners in scoring position. How many pitches has Meyers thrown? He's gonna pitch 8 innings? Stupid offense, oh well suppose we were due for a loss.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS drew 0 walks in a game.... Sun 20 July 08 in a 9-0 win at Houston

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[UMFan83]

Myers pounding the outsider corner on almost every first pitch. It's frustrating to see it happen to us, but it is a thing of beauty to see from an outsiders perspective.

Myers at 97 pitches...he should be good for one more before we get to Lidge. We might have to put this one in the concede column. But our team has obviously come back from greater odds.

[C.C.]

I don't see us winning this game and that's fine. We can't win them all...

 

hopefully Pitt will pull out a miracle win tonight.
