    To all of you claiming this was a clean play: This would have been a clean play if Barrett already had the ball. If you have watched baseball for any extended length of time, you would notice that collisions at home plate occur almost exclusively when the catcher already has the bal or is in the process of catching it. Nearly every other player in the major leagues would have used a hook slide and been safe at the plate without causing a problem of any kind. AJP, with his previously established reputation caused this entire event to happen. I'm not excusing Barrett for his behavior, but he is not the sole bearer of blame for this incident by any stretch. Now that I've said that, let it rip.....

    Holy crap, a hit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Dude, that's the bad kind of FIRE! and INTENSITY! The good kind is what happens in the clubhouse, when the manager kicks some butt and the team suddenly starts playing better or when the players hold a closed door meeting and decide to stop sucking. You know I actually did that just for you.

    You know the ump was bad if Maddux actually made a point of saying something to him. I wish he would have reamed him on the way to the dugout. Show some of that FIRE and INTENSITY!!! :D

    That's not the ball being killed. It's my will to live. OK that may be a bit dramatic.

    How many pitches for Buehrle thus far?
  7. mul21
    If hairston would keep the bat on his shoulder he would have a 3-0 count right now. So irritating to see them keep swinging at total crap.

    Shut up, seriously? This could be the ultimate gas can situation. Don't think this situation needs gas. Completely spontaneous combustion.
  9. mul21
    That makes it sound like he didn't crush that ball.
  10. mul21
    Does the Cubs entire lineup have as many HRs as Thome, Konerko, and Dye?
  11. mul21
    I think I'll start drinking now. Not sure why I waited this long really.
  12. mul21
    Quit swinging at ball four....more than once each AB. Ugh.

    Good thing for the Sox they have five then. On a completely unrelated topic, I hate this ump, he is HORRIBLE.
  14. mul21
    That was much better. Although crappy hitters tend to make it easier, which explains why crappy pitchers do so well against the Cubs.
  15. mul21
    The way that inning went, this could be ugly.
  16. mul21
    It appears there is no outside corner.
  17. mul21
    Please don't be hurt after that catch.
  18. mul21
    Beat me to it. He should have been looking at a 2-1 count after strike three.
  19. mul21
    He not hustled to first. I was actually referring to the four balls he took to get to 1st base. Didn't know the Cubs were still allowed to do that. :D
  20. mul21
    What was that thing that ARam just did????????
  21. mul21
    Apparently the Cubs will continue to employ the strategy of counting on other team's mistakes to score runs. About as sound a theory as anything else they're doing right now.
  22. mul21
    If he bunted it would go 2 feet. It took a full swing to get the ball half way to 3rd.

    Not only is bunting a piss-poor strategy, the Cubs are really BAD AT IT. Its really incredible how they just keep banging their head against a brick wall, hoping the next time they throw their head forward the wall will turn into Jello. What's the old saying? "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result each time." Fixed

    The metrics people say managers are worth only a couple of games either way due to measurable things. Setting a tone and having expectations for the way the team plays are things that can't be measured, but play a huge role in player performance whether anybody wants to admit it or not. Thus the discussions on whether or not the Cubs players had quit on Dusty, which I almost wish they would.

    I like the pre-emptive injury report on Wood, especially where the refer to "Cubs' pitching couch, Larry Rothschild ".
