between innings, that Chuck Norris Mt Dew commercial is on AGAIN just think, if you were listening to the radio you'd be hearing an Old Style question instead

guz induces a groundball to Ramirez who goes to 2nd for the 3rd out. Still 1-0 Cubs

he's calling low pitches, but the hitters have to adjust. The only egregious looking call was the 3rd strike to Murton

behold, the power of the UNION

beat you to it \:D/

there's your run, Guzman, make it stand up

murton has looked late on every pitch all year

that was the longest single ever. How was that not in the upper deck?

:?:

I think it has to do with the Palace being occupied on Sunday. IIRC, there's a WNBA game scheduled. Gee, what should take priority?? EDIT - Concert Sunday, WNBA Saturday Yeah, that's not a big surprise. While the playoffs would take priority if scheduling all 3 of those together, the arena already scheduled the other two, and to cancel them or move them would be a big headache for them-so the arena isn't going to want to do that without a big fight. what doesn't make sense is the NBA not scheduling their entire playoff schedule into every arena ahead of time That wouldn't work. To beat events like this, the NBA would have had to block out time on every arena months ago. They wouldn't have known who had HCA or who would even be in the playoffs-so they would have to block out just about every day from an arena for a 1 1/2 month period (even if they know the dates the playoffs start, they have no idea if the team will host game 1/2 or games 3/4, and then the second round simply starts when the first round ends, so that is variable as well). The arenas would never allow that much of the year to be blocked out for only the NBA-they make too much money from too many other things. right I understand the logistics, but the NBA HAS to have some sort of pull with these arenas. What other sport has their playoff schedule dictated by whether or not the Fergie World Tour is in town? Do you think the NBA minds pushing a game to a weeknight? where do they get more ad money, Monday night on TNT, or Saturday/Sunday on ABC?

that actually went further than I thought it would

Leadoff hitters usually don't get many RBI opportunities. not when you have Izturis and the pitcher hitting ahead of you

that was the laziest pickoff attempt ever

god. 8 RBI. EIGHT

BELTRAN JUNIOR WITH A BLOOPER

GET A GD HIT NOW PLEASE

Good bunters do that, you get more bat control that way. If you watch JP, he did that all the time. it's also a great way to get your fingers broken

or, more likely, he said "we've got a plane to catch, let's see if we can rough him up early in the count", then he cracked open a PBR and cooked up some microwave popcorn

they should hire their bunting coach. Two guys in a row have their top hand's fingers wrapped around the barrel of the bat

Gomez gets hit. No way that's a HBP

Cy Young is dead

and yet completely expected

JC , start booing please

this is the most boring game ever
