That ump looked like he enjoyed that.

I stepped away. Why did Sveum get ejected ?

Ransom was annoyed with strike 3 and apparently Sveum said something about it during the inning break

I guess he was complaining about the strike zone but we have seen a lot worse home plate umpires recently so not sure why he was so aggravated tonight.

Well, that strike 3 call was very annoying. Thanx.

Rizzo is a sexy best.

If you think DeMuth is bad..... wait 'til you see who's behind the plate tomorrow night !!

[Schwarber Fan]

If anyone needs a laugh... Brent lillibridge has the go ahead RBI single off Joe Nathan in Texas tonight.

I think Len and JD were on track, Sveum was pissed that DeMuth continued to stare down Ransom(who was obviously frustrated but not remotely looking/talking/moving towards DeMuth) as if he wanted a reason to eject him.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS held the opponents to 2 hits in a game.... Mon 27 May 2013 (2 hits) in a 7-0 win at white sox

 

 

Go CUBS !!

First HR given up by CUBS pitchers since Saturday in Colorado.... CUBS have HR'd in 7 straight games.
