    Beer. 420. Repeat This guy knows.

    This is where I'm at, plus it being a 7 game series takes me off the ledge a bit. Cubs are the better team.
  6. NOLA
    Not to mention that the Cubs got past the other 2 best teams in baseball with more ease than the Mets handled LA. Damned facts.

    TBS needs to never, ever come near a baseball game again after this postseason. The forced photoshop humor ala the TNT NBA show is painful.

    Ivy doesn't look like it's going to really start changing colors for a couple more weeks yet. Oh well, we'll have to wait for the World Series then.
  9. NOLA
    Exactly. Don't legitimize this idiotic line of thinking. Plus, it takes a great moment away from people who, you know, had something to do with the Cubs.

    Yeah. Wow. I was jealous of Rizzo out last night until this picture. I'm sure they all did ok last night.

    Not when they had previously ruled the play dead. I mean, the rule on the books(as silly as I think it is) was correct for Odor to score there, so the end result isn't super unjust, but umpire calling a play dead killing everything that's ongoing is not a fact that it's in doubt. Unless you have a replay review, the umpire's ruling is an eraser to anything that could be considered in progress. This. Much more eloquent than my reasoning.

    Umpire discretion. It's like a ball hit down the line that's called foul but on replay it hit the line. The umps determine where they beleive the runner would have ended up. Umpire discretion via replay was literally added with the advent of replay. The default has always been when play is ruled dead, anything that was potentially in progress is dead, regardless of intent, spirit, etc. Exactly. And to the foul ball analogy, if the umpire had called a foul and blown it dead incorrectly, it doesn't matter if the batter ran for a triple. It's a strike at that point. No Ok, ok, I went too far with that one. :blush:

    This game... Wow.

    Man, WHAT are you watching...he is actually about 3/4 of the way down the line by the time the ump waves for time. You must have some heartfelt sympathy toward the Blue Jays or something. Um, no. He was about halfway, but my point is that it doesn't matter because the umps can't award home plate after a time out. It's like an inadvertant whistle in football. If a ref blows a play dead, a team could pick up a fumble and run it back for a TD and it wouldn't matter. A dead ball is a dead ball. there was no chance whatsoever of toronto making the play It doesn't matter if they could or couldn't.

    I would have thrown a beer can through my tv.
  19. NOLA
    Odor was not halfway down the line when the ump clearly called timeout. Runner should be at 3B.
  20. NOLA
    Yes!! That trumps everything else. Like a ref whistling a fumble dead.
  21. NOLA
    It is a dead ball the moment that the umpire put his hands in air and called dead ball. Anything else is a moot point. Who's to say that a Blue Jay would not have thrown him out had the umpire not put his hands in the air?

    I mean, they can't even get the names right. Or the K Zone camera aligned properly. Or sneak in a human interest story without falling all over themselves.

    Cool Bruce Levine article about Maddon's thought process on the two squeeze plays. A nice quote from Soler too. http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2015/10/10/levine-cubs-joe-maddon-credits-game-2-success-to-zimmer-style-thinking/

    It was good stuff, but it doesn't matter in the end. Hardy will come back with some tweet against Bradshaw, there will be made for ESPN Twitter war, and the beat will go on, pun intended.

    It's time to blow it up and rebuild Saints. The party is over.
