4/22 Cubs (Trevor) v. Mets (Joey) at 6:40 on MSN

[We Got The Whole 9]

Still a bum

[UMFan83]

Oh snap I just realized that KB purposely got caught stealing 2nd so that Javy would be the base runner in the 10th. That’s some Galaxy brain horsefeathers by KB

[Irrelevant Dude]

I suddenly need to buy a mattress.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Bote has the feign the bunt to get favorable calls down pat

[Transmogrified Tiger]

is Sogard’s walk up song actually Radioactive, that feels like something we’d make up as a parody

[UMFan83]

Sweeep

[We Got The Whole 9]

Heyward got a grounder through the right side

 

Thank God we didn't lose to these losers

[Schwarber Fan]

Atta boy J-Hey!

 

Sweep!

[Derwood]

Remember when the Reds were 9-3 and the Cubs were in last place? Yeah...

[soccer10k]

Meet the Mets

Greet the Mets

Step right up and sweep the Mets

[PackLandVA]

In hindsight, Sogard needed to take the at bat instead of Romine. Lefty or not.

 

Just now read this (very short) game thread from page 1. Nice win, nice sweep.

 

Only other comment is the above quote really is an indictment of the roster. Sad.

What are the chances we aren't stuck with this stupid extra innings rule forever?

The answer is zero. Zero chance. They'll never get rid of it, and I suspected as soon as they implemented it in the minors that they were probably going to shove it into MLB at some point.

 

Frankly, I'm less than 50/50 that they'll even get rid of 7-inning doubleheaders now.

Yes, it's quite a thing. And now they have the announcers praising the [expletive]. It reminds me of the sandlot baseball we use to play when I was a kid. So stupid. They have no clue how to fix things.

*whispers* I'm actually coming around on the extra inning rule */whispers*
