[Sammy Sofa]

Seriously, [expletive] this umpire right in his blind [expletive].

[Keener98]

I hate Bob Davidson

[cubswin2009]

Where the [expletive] was that?!

[weis21]

collective sigh of relief

[manbearcub]

that had bloop single written all over it

[UMFan83]

I guess Ascaino is learning from Marmol with his "getting into tricky situations and then calmly getting out of them" brand of effectiveness.

[cubswin2009]

*Deep breath*

 

Only 4 more innings of that

[Little Slide Rooter]

Good. now cue massive downpour that lasts until morning.

[haubrich91]

Scary.

[Outshined_One]

That somehow worked out.

[hardcorecubfan]

I can't believe left him him for that tight situation. I was looking for Mr. go-to guy Heilman.

[UMFan83]

Where the [expletive] was that?!

 

The first 2 strikes looked like borderline pitches that could have been called balls, and he quickly called them strikes both times. Then that pitch looks like the best one of the AB and a ball is called. Weird.

[hardcorecubfan]

Good. now cue massive downpour that lasts until morning.

 

It is raining here in TX does that count?

[coldsteel]

Lou has found the perfect lineup combination.

[UMFan83]

Good. now cue massive downpour that lasts until Aramis Ramirez is healthy.

 

fixed

I can't believe left him him for that tight situation. I was looking for Mr. go-to guy Heilman.

 

Hes tied up in my trunk in case such a situation should arise.

[Keener98]

F U Bob Davidson you are the ump [expletive] we arent here to see you. Good job Teddy and larry

[weis21]

Bob just candidly called out Davidson like it was nothing

[UMFan83]

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Bob just candidly called out Davidson like it was nothing

 

Yeah, that was pretty good.

 

Davidson has sucked tonight.

[manbearcub]

lol @ Bob

Gorzelanny in to pitch for Pittsburgh

[UMFan83]

Ahh I missed playing Pittsburgh and their parade of lefties. I was beginning to think that left handed pitchers were outlawed in the National League.
