4/2 12:05PM Pirates (Maholm) @ Cubs (Z)

[Sosa21MVP]

An 0-2 record looks and feels a lot worse than it really is.

 

An 0-2 record at the hands of the Pirates makes it feel much worse too. :?

Guys, first base was occupied. Soriano couldn't run there.

 

Never heard of that rule before. Good to know. :good:

 

According to Bob, if the runner was on the move, the base is considering unoccupied and Soriano could have run. However, if the runner was holding at 1B, the base is occupied.

 

I just explained this rule to my boss. He is at the game and sent me a text screaming about Soriano, lol.

 

Meh, I'm sure he would have found another reason to boo Soriano anyways.

I'm looking forward to the inevitable Phil Rogers backhanded compliment.

Has anyone here ever been in the Batter's Eye suite? How is it?

[Bruno7481]

Pena bunted for a hit 5 times in 2009. Still looking for what he did last year. I think it is something you will see him do from time to time.

[rocket]

man, a really solid bullpen is going to be wasted on this year's team.

[UMFan83]

We are all aware the Cubs are going to win like 11-2 tomorrow right?

Probably. He is kind of a meathead fan. :lol:

This is cake guys. We still have 6 outs remaining. Let the magic begin.

Potential t-storms tomorrow, so it may happen.

I thought that was a pretty standard rule that most baseball fans knew.

We are talking about Cub fans, not necessarily baseball fans.

Its more the fact that the offense has been absolutely helpless vs. mediocre at best pitching than the 0-2 record, which is meaningless at this point.

[Omar]

Man, what a great eye.

Castro = the real deal

[Mark Priors Calves]

[Tryptamine]

Castro is awesome.

[otis89]

Castro! That's what we like to see!

[Outshined_One]

Hit that sucker deep the other way. Nice!

[NotSoSober]

Love me some Castro

[mookie]

Starlin Castro is my favorite baseball player.
