A BASERUNNER !!

 

:shock: :shock: whats a baserunner??? have we had one before? :?

[CubsHawks25]

I thought Lawton was fairly fast....... how did he not score on that??

[Flames24Rulz]

a hit :shock:

 

cmon DLee, lets drive em both home here.

[Derwood]

Nicely played Walker! NOW is the inning where they leave the first two runners on base. Such patience from these Cubs hitters to save the LOB till the 4th!

[Derwood]

I thought Lawton was fairly fast....... how did he not score on that??

 

Cuz he got drilled in the knee by Hudson.

[Brian]

2nd and 3rd no outs.... 0 runs will score ?

[CubsHawks25]

Oh. I guess that would be a fairly good reason. :oops:

gah lee! what are you thinking, clogging the bases?!?! what a loser!

...

c'mon aram! drive em in!

[Derwood]

Dear Cubs,

 

You now must score at least 2 runs. It is imperative that you do so, lest I seriously injure myself trying to crawl through my TV set to strangle you all.

 

Love,

 

Derwood

[CubsHawks25]

Well, we got 1 at least... won't be a shutout. :roll:

[Derwood]

God, friggin, stupid, arghh, i oughta, grrr.

[Flames24Rulz]

sad thing is i knew that was coming *sigh.*

[YearofDaCubs]

that was a bs call.

[CubsHawks25]

STRIKE?!!?!?

 

 

you BLEEPING ump!!!!!! :evil:

[Brian]

hey at least they fricken scored. Aram could have k'ed and then Burnitz could have doubled up.

[Derwood]

is it just me, or do umpires give Burnitz the biggest strize zone on earth?

[Derwood]

I hate this team so much.

[lowest]

that was a bs call.

 

i thought he was gonna call it a ball until i heard the fans groaning.....

 

crud...inning over

[CubsHawks25]

Typical Atlanta Braves pitching strike call on that K2 pitch to Burnitz... not only was it outside, but it woulda been low to a 4' guy!

[CubsHawks25]

Burnitz is bad anyways, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on that strikeout... thanks to that GREAT ( :roll: ) K2 call, he had to swing at that ball to protect the inside half - cause we never know about an ump's strike zone when the Braves are pitching - even to this day (aka, still similar to "Maddux-Glavine-Smoltz" GENEROUS strike zones back in the day).

[Derwood]

Typical Atlanta Braves pitching strike call on that K2 pitch to Burnitz... not only was it outside, but it woulda been low to a 4' guy!

 

that's been true with jeromy all year. Or at least during his struggles. He can't hit the inside stuff, and they seem to give pitchers about 4 inches outside on him too.

Way to get them there Neifi!!
