Ejection was warranted there. The Tim Beckman era can't end soon enough.

What is the tiebreaker? -
And by "sweep", you mean lose all 3, correct? No, I like when my team wins. I have a hard time rooting for meaningless wins at this stage when they could mean the difference between the 2nd and the 3rd or possibly 4th pick. There is a decent chance that the difference between 2 and 4 will be negligible, but there is a 100% chance that any wins for the rest of the season are meaningless.

I wish the Rockies would win a game or two. It looks like we're pretty safe to have a Top 3 pick, but the Rockies are going to be hard to beat out for #2. -
This is going to be a crazy late start if they do end up playing. What is the NL curfew these days?
-
The old fake to third move. It works at least once a year and there it was.
-
Yeah, he is. I still don't know if he provides enough offense to be an everyday player in a good lineup, but if the Cubs can find enough offense at other positions I'm perfectly fine with Barney holding down 2B.
-
Gotta love the Rizzo thumbs-up to the camera when he found out that someone won a car because of his grand slam.
-
That ball was crushed.
-
Does anyone else have a problem with Keith Moreland being referred to as a former "Cubs great"?
-
Wait a minute... Tony Campana hit fly ball near the OF wall? He was playing from the women's tees.
-
A definite unexpected bright spot. He may not be an ace on a good staff, but he is a very good young 2 or 3 to build around.
-
That was a relatively quick 8th. Let him finish it?
-
And the revolving door of middle relievers claimed off waivers continues...
-
I never noticed before, so I don't know if they do it every game, but that was a funny rendition of "Take On Me" by the Washington fans.
-
Is Vitters reaching historically bad proportions now? I can't ever recall an offensive player looking so inept.
-
Does that mean the 5th inning would be the silent inning?
-
I know we aren't catching them, but it feels like we are gaining on the Astros. That is only because of their current 1 game winning streak.
-
Another day closer to the #2 pick.
-
.081 This is sad...
-
Please stop putting the camera on Strasburg. That is one nasty, giant wad of chew.
-
If it is raining in Chicago like it is here, there is no way they are getting this game in.

What else was the runner supposed to do? Be tagged out. I really haven't formed an opinion either way on collisions, I've really never thought about the topic. But if you aren't going to allow players to run over catchers at home plate, then catchers shouldn't be allowed to blatatnly block homeplace to the point where the runner doesn't have a choice but to run over the catcher to get to the plate. Exactly. I just don't know how that rule could be enforced. MLB could try to legislate head shots, but even that is difficult because the catcher's positioning may put his head right at shoulder-level. -
