Brian LaHair post ASB

.214 .290 .214

 

I don't even know if he's a viable option to start anymore.

 

I wouldn't trust him to drive Dempster to the airport.

 

Dempster would just give him the wrong directions on purpose.

 

Hahahahaha.

 

Or he'd refuse to fly and insist on taking the train instead.

After telling them to buy him plane tickets and telling the plane people how fun it would be to ride a plane.

And its a "double"

 

Can they at least kick those idiot fans out? That should be mandatory when a fan interferes with a ball.

 

Pretty sure it is.

 

Don't really see why those fans should be kicked out. Most of us seem to think it was a HR so why should they get in trouble for thinking the same thing?

 

Doesn't matter what they thought. Fan interference is fan interference.

 

I guess I just disagree with it in this circumstance. Not on balls that bounce over third and are called fair and a guy leans over and picks it up as it bounces past, those I'd agree with. Same with the Jeter homer back in the day. This one, eh, I don't think the guy's arm was more than a foot past the fence, and he wasn't leaning over the wall with his arm dangling down way bellow the yellow line.

 

I'm not disagreeing with what you're saying, just saying I think the punishment might be a bit harsh in this scenario.

 

Can't rule it on a case-by-case basis. Reach in the field of play, you're thrown out of the park (or at least out of your seat).

Len is talking about ARod's HBP that broke his hand. This morning Rosanna Scotto on Fox 5 news was just ripping him mercilessly for being a baby after getting hit. It was really ridiculous. Like Kaplan talking about an ethnic type bad.

I agree that it's really weird.

that was the first time all day I noticed campana was playing. Thought for a second he was pinch hitting for Dempster and my heart skipped a beat.

True. It's one of those things would require common sense, and the people that got kicked out for good reasons would be upset and the lawsuits would then come.

THE FORT!

Demp's only allowed 2 hits, but both are homers.

What about the hit he gave to the future of the Cubs organization?

With all due respect, Jake, your nicknames for your guys are the [expletive] worst

Ba dum bum.

[C.C.]

Walking Riz.

[Epsteenie]

Here comes the groundout to SS off the end of the bat for LaHair.

[jersey cubs fan]

Hey what do you know, Lahair's slow loopy swing actually drove the ball, for another out

[Banedon]

Walking Riz.

 

With nobody on. That's one way to go.

[Epsteenie]

I was about 5 feet away from reverse jinxing that

Ok, I'm really slow. Why is Soriano out of the lineup with less than a week before the trade deadline?

Resting him for the stretch run.

Sveum thinks he needs a day off. Even though he's 4-8 with 2 2Bs, a HR and 4 RBIs in his last 2 games.

Hell yeah, looks like we are keeping the band together to see if this 17-7 run is a fluke or if its the start of an improbable playoff push!!
