7/8 Braves(Kawakami) @ Cubs(Hart) 1:20 CDT, CSN TV

[Little Slide Rooter]

Promising enough start, but what can you do.

[Ski]

Hawk Harrelson would have gone full blown psycho on that call.

I liked Len though

 

"That is the worst call I've ever seen at 2nd base"

[EnduringFaith]

He wasnt sitting on his arse... Didnt you catch Lou throw the f bomb at the ump? hehehe Edited July 8, 2009 by EnduringFaith

[Sammys Boombox]

That's what happens when you anticipate a play.

[Keener98]

Glad to see Lou sit on his ass once again. Thats 2 blown calls at 2nd base this series.

 

He was on the top step of the dugout arguing with the umps.

 

I understand that, but my God thats such a horse crap call come on the field. I know it really doesnt mean much, but its not like Fuku can argue since he barely speaks English. At least come out of the dugout.

[Andy]

Honestly, this umpiring crew is getting on my [expletive] list. Two awful calls in two days at 2nd base.

[bcl412]

Play under protest.

he didn't want to get his feet wet from the soggy grass.

[Schwarber Fan]

Play under protest.

 

They can't protest that can they?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Play under protest.

 

Unfortunately, that's not a play you can protest.

 

And it was a horrible call....much worse than the Jeter one.

[bcl412]

No

It would be awesome to see Fuku get angry at the ump in japanese

What kind of calls can you protest? And does playing under protest really accomplish anything?

I know you can't protest judgment calls but that call was so obvious that you should be able to protest it. Too bad the ump probably won't get into trouble.

[Careless]

Good start from Hart

Will it be on PTI? Umm....no.

From what I understand, you can protest the umpire's judgment of the rules (George Brett pine tar incident is the most famous). It usually does nothing but if something is ruled they start the game over from the point that it was protested (ala the George Brett game). That game is actually the only one that I know of that they agreed to restart that game.

[Outshined_One]

The Coors commercial followed by the Howie Long Chevy commercial made me wish Chapter 7 on both companies.

[UMFan83]

Holy Christ, that thing wasn't even a bang-bang play.

 

little known fact: in the vicinity also means the ball can be in the vicinity of the fielders glove. And vacinity means 8 feet or so. Soon they may adapt it so if the pitcher looks toward 2b and pretends to throw it, it will count. Bit only against the Cubs of course.

[Outshined_One]

Zambrano sang Take Me Out to the Ball Game?

 

:lol:

[bcl412]

It's been a productive inning thus far.

[Outshined_One]

Ow. That looked like it hurt.

[bcl412]

Jake Fox looks like a softball slugger.

[Careless]

wth, Theriot?

[soapy]

hahahaha...

Pat: "What about the game by Paul Konerko last night?"

Ron: "What about it?"
