Re: 4/7 - Cubs (Dempster) @ Astros (Rodriguez) - 7:05CDT - WGN

Reed beat that play. Give him hell, Lou!!

[InconspicuousZ28]

Horrible call.

[cubs121]

Too close to call.

[Soul]

Wait, why the hell did we go to commercial if Lou was coming out?!?

[cubswin2009]

Awesome.

[Tryptamine]

What are the chances Lou has been ejected when we get back from commercial?

[Careless]

How did he hit that?

[Bixby]

I hope Lou gets thrown out. That was a horrible flipping call.

[Magnetic Curses]

while zambrano gets in trouble for pumping his fist every now and then, nobody bats an eye when this a-hole has a seizure on the infield on every single pitch. i don't get it.

 

we have also never gotten a single hit off of him and it seems like he's just a barely above average closer.

[InconspicuousZ28]

Because they have to show us more penis growing product commercials.

Sponsors paid good money. If Lou does something worth seeing, I don't think even WGN would rob us of a replay.

[NotSoSober]

Out, imo, after watching the replay. Still ticked at the Theriot/Bradley hit and run, or straight steal, whatever it was.

 

Nevermind, very safe*

great we just got boned on a call and now I'm watching some guy talk about his boner.

[Outshined_One]

How did he hit that?

 

Tomahawk chopped it.

[Andy]

Hint: When I can tell on TV that he's safe, you are an idiot to call him out.

 

How many times out of 100 does Tejada even make a decent play on that ball?

[UMFan83]

Valverde has completely owned the Cubs in his career.

 

0.86 ERA in 21 games against the Cubs, with a 0.57 WHIP

[ChiCubsFan]

That's really not even all that close for a major league umpire.

umm, no.

Yea, after watching that slo-mo, he was safe by a mile. My bad.

[Sammys Boombox]

There have been three bang bang plays at first today and all have gone the Astros way. I have always thought that Miller has made his calls too quickly. If you go back and watch the Dempster play you will see that he was very quick with it. I think Dempster was out, but that's just not a good way to call a game.

It's cool. Tejada made that play closer than it should have been.

it's cause he's the closer for the astros... no one cares about him

[Careless]

That's really not even all that close for a major league umpire.

No MLB umpire has been fired for being bad at his job in over 20 years.

[cubswin2009]

Good start. Pence will end this.

[cubs121]

When's the next game?
