May 27 Cubs (Zambrano) vs Pirates (Duke) 1:20 CST

[Outshined_One]

Oh wow. That is ridiculous.

 

The ump bumped Z.

[Bote McBoteface]

What the hell is the ump still doing back there? Z clearly threw him out.

[bcl412]

He was [expletive] out!!! Z is probably gonna get suspended now....[expletive]!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

He was safe. Z's getting suspended for no reason.

 

Z's suspension for the bump is going to be BS though because the ump bumped him.

[Keener98]

hahahahha

 

that was the highlight of the season so far!

 

 

 

\:D/

Yea real highlight losing your ace starter for a suspension

Umpire bumps Z... if he gets suspended THEN this league should be embarrassed. Stop being tough guys umps... you're all a joke.

[cubswin2009]

Wow the ump bumped Z.

[NotSoSober]

:lol:

[RyneSandberg]

That was complete [expletive], the ump clearly moved into carlos.

[Sammy Sofa]

It's pretty obvious from all the footage that the ump bumped Carlos first and Z essentially pushed the ump's arm away with his arm as it was pressing against him.

 

THE GATORADE MACHINE STILL WORKS.

Thank you Mister lazy pos Soriano, all because you can't cleanly pick up a slow rolling gb.

I'm actually wondering if the ump said something to him that set him off like that.

[Cubswin11]

Ron said he bumped the ump? Is that true? Lou needs to get a hold of his players a bit.

He did bump the ump, but the ump moved towards him and their elbow/shoulders slightly touched. He then proceeded to throw the ball from home plate, without a step, all the way to the warning track, then threw his glove, and then absolutely destroyed the fancy new gatorade machine in the dugout we got this year.

[cubswin2009]

Once again lazy Lou doesn't do anything out there. Jim Leyland was furious when this happened to Mags.

That gatorade machine is a real trooper.

Tough machine... fists of fury first... now a bat!

[Sammys Boombox]

Carlos ejected the umpire because he initiated the contact. Z did push back.

 

Haha. As soon as I say this MLB.tv catches up and Bob points it out as I type it.

[NeifiIsMyHomeBoy]

wow. freel, cotts, miles, and now zambrano all in the same day. talk about epic carnage. meanwhile on planet lou all seems pleasant and the cubs are going to be ok.

Are you sure he got his left hand in there? The last replay i saw it appeared Z had done a pretty good job of blockin the plate.

[Sammy Sofa]

Thank you Mister lazy pos Soriano, all because you can't cleanly pick up a slow rolling gb.

 

Lazy?

 

Besides, if you think he's a piece of [expletive], it's nice that you still show him respect and call him "Mister."

It doesnt matter if Z bumped the ump or not, they can still suspend him for not leaving the field in a timely manner, and throwing things.

[Cynosure]

No doubt Carlos should get fined for throwing equipment... but if he gets suspended for an Umpire bumping him that's sad.

[RyneSandberg]

Thank you Tyrus Thomas for another ESPN not top 10.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

More awful officiating... this league should be embarrassed.

 

 

He was safe

 

Yea, saw it in real time didn't know how it was possible... how umps can see things like that but still fail to call a consistent strike zone is beyond me.

 

They do call a consistent strike zone. The TV camera angle skews everything for the fans.

[Sammys Boombox]

Did we get that machine because we didn't want Milton throwing the cooler onto the field?
