That last one looked like a strike to me, too. But Pudge really dropped low to take it. I've never understood how umpires are supposed to be able to judge breaking balls low in the zone. you just can't see it from that angle Yeah, I'll bet he just looked at Pudge drop down and figured it missed.
According to Chicago Tribune sports, Tillman is out indefinitely with back surgery. I'm not sure whether I should be upset about this or not. The article doesn't sound as bad as the headline implies. It says they are hoping to have him back by the last preseason game. Ok, then he starts his training camp. It'll probably be a few weeks into the season before he's really able to play well.
He's been good. I can't whine about being punked by a crappy pitcher tonight. I'll still whine, just not about that ;) Well, a crappy pitcher having a fluke year. Granted, he's on a roll right now though. Hasn't he generally had our number anyway?
Just our luck that Z is throwing a one hitter, and the one hit is a home run. I guess the fact that Wandy has been throwing well before this start gives me some solace that we can't hit him tonight.
