I'd prefer it not to be KB or Riz.

Strop quick pitched Rodriguez and then they had a stare down then someone from the Cubs dugout and Rodriguez started yelling at each other and the HP ump had to step out and yell back at the Cubs dugout to shut up and tell Rodriguez to get his horsefeathers together.

[Fred Hornkohl]

he went down 0-1, then strop quick pitched him to go 0-2, he started talking to strop, strop said something back, then he started barking at the cubs bench. Ump told the cubs to shut up and then told Rodriguez to chill after Rodriguez said somehting like "any time you want," to the bench. Strop struck him out swinging on the next pitch, they stared at each other for a while then he went into the dugout and punched a gatorade cooler*

 

*last part may be false

Strop quick pitched him, as Strop likes to do. They stared eachother down and that turned into Rodriguez exchanging words with our dugout.

 

There was a moment there where Strop had an opportunity to quick pitch him again while he was in the box and yelling at our dugout, and I would have paid good money to see it. Unfortunately the umpire called time.

Thanks.

Hopefully Rondon gets another save chance taken away from him

[Hunter]

KB hitting streak increased.

[ScrubMD]

Haha, what a wiener.

[Gmoney08]

Haha I'm reading another Sox forum (SoxTalk) and their complaint is now how garbage the NL is top to bottom and how there is no competition for the Cubs (this was posted during today's game)

 

If you consume much NL baseball this is pretty much what it looks like. It's an embarrassment, the NBA stepped in and put an end to Hinkie's "process" but the NL is allowed to turn into a AAA league and nobody bats an eye. Absolutely ridiculous what the senior circuit has become, and its not good for the game.

 

AL lineups are absolute death marches right now, I doubt the Mets, Nationals and Cubs would be boasting these all world staffs if they had to face this stretch of the Sox are in the midst of.

 

It's probably not quite this bad for the AL but at quick glance it seems like 5 of the 6 best rosters in the MLB come from the NL right now..

[Cubswin11]

Lol, Bryant got to 3rd. We are ridiculous at base running too

[NotSoSober]

nice read by bryant there

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have outscored the opponents 16-6 in the 9th inning.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[kujay]

That staredown by Strop after striking him out was gold.

[fallacy]

Rizzo says horsefeathers my old BABIP

The AL also has like 3 or 4 of the worst 4 or 5 records in MLB too, currently.

I'm glad Sean Rodriguez is on the Pirates. I hate the Cardinals much more than the Pirates & actually sorta like the Pirates. Rodriguez punk ass gives me some reason to actually hate the Pirates.

[UMFan83]

Come on lets get that RD back up. Finishing only +3 today is pathetic

I especially enjoyed the description for their catch-all sports thread:

 

This is the place to talk sports. Feel free to predict the number of INTs Cutler will throw in the next game
