short third basemen look awkward

[Outshined_One]

Also the k-zone seems to be rather large today.

 

It's really inconsistent on the inside corner to righties/outside corner to lefties. There have been some good pitches on it not called and some really bad pitches on it that have been called.

[B]

this ump has pretty much sucked.

nice nice nice nice

[Roast]

Wow.

[Guest]

Through six.

[TruffleShuffle]

TWO THIRDS OF THE WAY TO A COMPLETE GAME NO HITTER.

[B]

i didn't realize until Len just said it.

What this game shows, more than anything else, is that Lilly's game is made for the misty, rainy days with the wind blowing in.

HES THROWING A NO HITTER

[TruffleShuffle]

i'm so impressed by this lilly no hitter and the patient offense that i guarantee a cubs world series victory.

[Roast]

I heard Ted Lilly is throwing a NO HITTER?

 

Is it true that he has NO HITS?

 

That's freaking incredible that he hasn't allowed a SINGLE HIT so far in the entire game.

 

 

no hits.

[CUBZ99]

Did Lilly find some velocity, or is he junk balling it today?

[JimSorgi]

Guys, be quiet.

This game is eerily similar to the River Cats home opener last Thursday.

 

Rain delayed the start by about an hour and the starting pitcher was working on a no-hitter. The only difference was the River Cats' starter had to be taken out after four because his arm wasn't stretched out enough and he reached his pitch count limit.

[bukie]

More importantly, Lilly at 87 pitches through 6. He'll need an efficient inning next inning if he's going to keep this up.

[Sosa21MVP]

Lilly has a no hitter working eh? Sweet! \:D/

[cubswin2009]

JUST TO REMIND EVERYONE, TED LILLY IS THROWING A NO-HITTER. HERE'S PROOF:

Belisle in to pitch for Colorado

I think the 2nd pitch was further outside than the first was there.

[Fred Hornkohl]
