Now, I agree that the replays on the play were inconclusive, but that was only the part about whether Howard got Lilly's foot with the tag. He missed Lilly's hip by at least 6 inches, and the replays clearly showed that. CUBS are 0-3 over the last 2 years with Guccione behind home plate, averaging 2.7 R/G. Sounds like a conspiracy to me !!

CUBS are 1-9 (13 runs scored) in games without an extra base hit Go CUBS !!
