7/3 Cubs (Zambrano) vs. Nationals (Drese) 1:20 PM, WGN

[Brian]

Sergio is straight pimping out there right now.

[Chris]

*booing Corey because he was the pinch-runner for Barrett, which lead Blanco to enter the game, who grounded out with the bases loaded to send the game to the 12th*

[burnt out cubbie fan]

I hope we don't pinch hit for Sergio. The way this is turning out, we need to save as much pitching as we can.

[Brian]

there's the leather, Todd!

[J.R.]

Nice play.

Hey. No indirect booing.

 

Nice play by Walker.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Redemption for Walker.

[burnt out cubbie fan]

Man, the crowds are Wrigley are really starting to piss me off.

Why? Because they call it how they see it?

Are you kidding me? They booed a guy that is hitting over .300 because he made an error. You know, it doesn't surprise me at all that they would rather play on the road than at home. I know I wouldn't want to play in front of fans that boo whenever someone makes a mistake.

Yeah, let's all sit in our chairs and not say anything. That was a big mistake by Walker. I personally believe the boos to Corey are warranted.

 

So, what does the booing accomplish?

It motivates the athletes to not be dumb and make outs. Perhaps Blanco deserves some boos. He makes plenty of outs.

See. Walker learned from the booing. He would have made another error right there if he wasn't put in his place by the fans.

[Flames24Rulz]

god...

[illiniguy]

you have got to be kidding me. why cant we get out other teams catchers?

[Jon]

Sigh. There's the hanger.

[jaydee]

smoooooth mitre...

[J.R.]

I'd slit my wrist, but then I'd mess up my bracelet.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Ugh, c'mon Serge.

[Chris]

Nah, Sergio will bat for himself

[Brian]

can they blow a third save??

[Fred Hornkohl]
