did they?  I know the other CS the White Sox had was close enough that they had the camera on Sizemore to see if it would be challenged, but they didn't.  Believe that was the 6th, so I don't think so.

It was on the PCA stumble rounding first base.  They challenged the safe call and lost.

[JHBulls]

Oh my goodness. This team is really going to lose to the dumbest team in history, by out dumbing them. 

[UMFan83]

oh this is hilarious

[Tryptamine]

Just go yard and end this horsefeathers show

[UMFan83]

I'm sure Robert would love to walk off the Cubs

[UMFan83]

Tying run 90 feet away, 2 outs.  Yeesh

[chibears55]

Walk him..lol

[Tryptamine]

Every part of me is screaming this isn't going to end well.

[UMFan83]

Its sad that the announcers have to warn the Cubs closer multiple times not to balk in the tying run.

[UMFan83]

No where to put the next guy

[JHBulls]

Never simple.

Until two singles and a walk.  Then the White Sox will have the "heart" of their order up with the bags juiced.

 

 

Just sayin' !!

You expect 50% Ks? What if, at least for the purpose of manufacturing expectations, we pretend everyone’s a Cubs prospect on a pre-arb rookie deal? Probably the only way anyone outside the org will get a shot at a fair shake 

He's close to 40% on the year. In 4 PA, 50% is what you actually should expect.

I am really happy that I didn’t need to use my ‘I didn’t really like baseball anyway’ joke.

I've never seen such a focus on not balking.  The announcers, the manager.  Is that really a thing that a veteran major league reliever needs to be reminded?

[UMFan83]

I hate this team lol

 

^^ I had this ready to post whether they won or lost

[WhyCantWeWin]

Neris threw some awful pitches right down the middle. Thankfully the sox suck

[Eeyore]

He gone!

I mean he's done it 3-4 times this year so yeah I'm guessing he needs to be reminded lol

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Neris really must have been a saint in some previous life

Can we just fast forward to the part where Neris has the bases loaded with 1 out protecting a 2 run lead in the 9th?

Almost nailed it haha
