Is that through cable? I don't have any delay here. Yeah, I have digital cable. Pat and Ron announce, and 2 seconds later I see what they're talking about. On that last pitch I heard "swing and a foul back" and Novoa hadn't even started his windup yet.
Damn, there is some serious lag between WGN TV and WGN radio. Like 2, 3 seconds. There ususally is about a half-second delay, but that I can take. This is ridiculous.
I always love when announcers say "Well, (name of pitcher) can handle the bat. He's hitting (low batting average) this year". .212 is not handling the bat well. For a pitcher, maybe, but that means he's still a lousy hitter.

And, Neifi pops up, and now Blanco needs to get a hit to score the run. Which is about as likely as Cameron Diaz knocking on my door in the next 5 minutes and professing her undying love for me.
Neifi is terrible. One of the worst hitters in the last 50 years, and Dusty keeps thinking he's the best thing since sliced bread. The saddest thing? Intelligent Cub fans think that we'll go places under Dusty's leadership.
YOU GUYS SUCK!! BUNCH OF LOSERS CAN'T SCORE ON A GUY WITH A 9.85 ERA!! ALL OF YOU SHOULD BE SENT BACK TO THE MINORS!! (there was very little negativity in the game thread. You can't mess with something that works. Luckily, I'm here to save the day. ;))
That double is why every player should be running as hard as they can as soon as the ball hits the bat. None of this "jogging to first on a routine grounder" garbage.
