  1. He's just guessing on all the close pitches. Gameday had Ball 4 to KB in the exact same spot as Strike 1.
  2. That was a great read off the bat by Jay and it allowed him to score.
  3. Lackey hasn't put anyone away today. Moreland was 0-2 and walked (I know, should have K'd), Pedroia singled on 0-2, Bradley was down 0-2 and singled on 1-2 and now Bogaerts triples on 1-2.
  4. Didn't matter but there was a 2 strike pitch in the 1st inning that was a way better pitch than Zobrist was called out on also.
  5. This ump hates to check with the first/third base umpire.
  6. Fellaini just lost his mind. Picked up a yellow for dragging Aguero down to stop a counter attack. Literally 15 seconds later, he does it again. Before the ref has a chance to pull out the second yellow, he headbutts Aguero (one of those where the players are going to be face to face but Fellaini made a motion towards Aguero's head and Aguero sold it) and gets a straight red. Needless to say, it wasn't the best 30 seconds for him.
  7. This is completely irrational because i know that if they win every series, they'll win over 100 games, but it would be nice if the Cubs could sweep a series.
  8. The Chicago Cubs had a 2014 season? I remember Iowa and Tennessee playing baseball that season, but not the Cubs. yeah...some fun stuff happened, some that had direct/indirect impacts on the cubs' resurgence Yep. Like you said in your other post, 2014 was when things started to turn. In addition to what you posted: -Rizzo bounced back after his disappointing 2013 (.742 OPS) and started to turn into a stud (.913 OPS) -Bryant was destroying the minors -Schwarber was drafted and destroyed the minors for a couple months -Billy Beane got drunk and traded Russell to us
  9. Can't believe Morrison didn't get tossed for that.
  10. If you end games after 12 innings we'd no longer get position players pitching, which is always fun. The John Baker game was one of the highlights of the 2014 season. Scoreless 16th inning on the mound followed by a walk to start the bottom half and scoring the winning run.
  11. Someone mentioned it in today's game thread but if the Cubs want to just crush some team, I wouldn't mind it at all.
  12. Just for you, TT: http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/11493214/v1310924683/must-c-clips-blackmon-legs-out-insidethepark-homer
  13. Just get it to the 11th and the top of our order will win it.
  14. Duensing in to really put the game out of reach.
  15. These pop ups in big spots are really annoying.
  16. Sweep the Reds. Take first place. Don't give it back.
  17. [tweet] [/tweet] CB Bucknor at it again. He was the third base ump, this ball was hit to left field and he called in an out before getting overruled by the other umps.
