Can someone explain to me how did Burnitz got picked off?

 

Cranium Rectum Inversion Syndrome... he caught it from the manager.

Can someone explain to me how did Burnitz got picked off?

He got too big of a secondary lead. The pitch was outside and it was an easy throw to third.

 

And yeah, that ball was clearly a HR. I don't know how you can miss that...

 

Did Dusty bother to get off his seat and argue?

[Jon]

And now they show a replay that shows it foul.

[hawkeyecub]

The home run was definitely foul. They just showed a better angle on Comcast.

ah from that angle they got the call right. and yes dusty did argue it.

[YearofDaCubs]

OK, so we werent robbed. That replay angle shows it as foul. Burnitz blunder cost us though.

[WindyCity]

was it a HR or not? I can't see the game.

 

Per Santo, replays show that it was a HR..... :cry:

same way they always miss every bordeline call agaisnt us. because we are the loveable losers.

 

I think this makes 8 or 9 games this year where the umps blown calls have cost us a chance to tie or win the game. but it all balances out you know. :roll: (rare use of an emoticon there for me)

 

was the blown HR call on the double or on a foul ball? if on the double, how do you blow that call at Wrigley? that's what the basket is for.

 

did Baker even argue that?

The last replay shows it was clearly foul.

 

It wasn't even close.

And now Pat Hughes says that other replays show it as clearly foul.

[illiniguy]

we walk the .183 hitter to get to the guy who can hit. nice.

[Schwarber Fan]

Dusty is smart enough to PH Barrett for Blanco next inning right?

[johnnyba99]

Ohman in a big spot again. Hold 'em down Will!

[ryno-mvp23]

there is an article on espn.com with nomar saying he is recovering faster than he thought and that he thinks he will be back for the last 2 months of the season.....lord knows this lineup could use him

[johnnyba99]

although Schneider hits .300 vs lefties, .248 vs righties and is 0 for 9 career against Dempster.

[Brian]

Cordero isn't warming up and has pitched in the last 3 games!!!!!

[Flames24Rulz]

Cordero isn't available today so the Cubs could get a break there.

 

and Ohman with a K to end the inning. Cmon lets get at least 1.

Edited July 1, 2005 by Flames24Rulz

[Brian]

OH MAN WHAT A PITCH!

[Jon]

Ohman has such a great slider to throw against lefties.

[XZero771679666304]

Probably just precautionary, as Livan is still inder 300 pitches.

[johnnyba99]

that was adventursome, but he got the job done.
