It was a routine grounder to second and the second baseman took his time and the runner beat it out. That play was hilarious. The announcers spent the next several minutes bagging on Lopez, but it really looked like Albert dogged it to go cover first and Lopez had to wait for him. Either way, great stuff.
Gonna miss yet another one. This sucks. What doesn't suck is that Marquis is going to torch these AAAA clowns and the hitters will sacrifice a bucket of KFC before the game to wake up bats. Cubs win 9-2.
Houston @ Milwaukee, Rodriguez v. Parra, 1:05 CT. Pittsburgh @ St. Louis, Davis v. Wellemeyer, 7:15 CT. A couple more days like yesterday and these threads won't even be necessary anymore.
I think 2006 maybe would have been a good example of this if the Detroit pitchers didn't commit about 25 errors in five games. Beating the '06 Cardinals in the WS wouldn't have been the greatest accomplishment. But overall, I agree that I don't care how the Cubs beat. I'm still going to cry like a little girl.
So you're telling me there's a chance! I love that we (and the players, it seems) expect to win every night. That's the way it should be. So, Ted, you're due for a good outing. Make it happen.
