Garza (1-0, 1.23 ERA, 0.75 WHIP) http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/headshots/mlb/players/full/28528.png&w=65&h=90&scale=crop&background=0xcccccc&transparent=false @ Buehrle (0-2, 3.65 ERA, 1.38 WHIP) http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/headshots/mlb/players/full/4454.png&w=65&h=90&scale=crop&background=0xcccccc&transparent=false -
No Ramirez either. At least we still have Castro and his horrible intangibles.

Somewhere, Eric Gregg is Smiling...

The lack of crippling of the game is hardly a defense of something that is still done poorly. It's not done poorly. This sequence is clearly an outlier. The sort of accuracy and consistency people are craving is already being achieved by the human umps. They're not infallible, but they're right 99.9% of the time. Things like video replays and timing equipment (in other sports) aren't infallable either. There's a failure rate with technology too. Point taken about the failure rate of technology, but I still disagree overall. I know it's splitting hairs, but 99.9% is wrong. Assuming 150 pitches per team per game, that would mean that "irrefutable contrary evidence" would only overturn one balls-strikes call every three games, and I don't think anyone could argue that point with a straight face. I wouldn't know where/how to research it, but my guess is that it's probably closer to 8-15 missed ball-strike calls per game, or around 95-97% accuracy, with outlier games probably ranging around 92-93 percent or even lower. Your argument based on your made up numbers is perfectly reasonable, but the numbers I just made up are too high to not find it necessary to employ technology where it could be easily employed. -
It's that or a bad camera angle. the camera angle is perfect, it's one of the only good things about busch stadium Then this guy has been brutal both ways. Ball 2 to Shark was because the catcher was set up way inside. It shouldn't make a difference to a competent umpire, but it was pretty obvious that's why Wainwright didn't get that call.

What about this guy? No? right.

DAMMIT.

Ozzie is distinguishing between stupid and dumb. "It was a stupid thing to say, but it wasn't dumb, because I'm not dumb. If we're sitting here again [in a few years] talking about the same thing again, then it will be dumb because I didn't learn from it. It was stupid but I'm not dumb." I'm glad I'm sitting through this.

Cubs tie it up in the bottom of the inning.

Awesome, thank you.

Mariners bat around in Darvish's first big league inning. -
Boom.
-
Let me hate him in peace, please. My gut feeling has made up its mind. Your numbers are worthless.
-
Well, running the count full first was a pleasant surprise at least. wtg adolfo.

Did anyone have Darwin Barney in the 4th game of the year for the Cubs' first homerun?
-
Darwin mfin Barney!!!
-
He may have gotten one. There's no way to tell.
-
Why did Soto move out of the path for that?
-
Rally-killer. Should have been a bases-clearing double.

This. i'm wondering if this will affect people with MLB EI through DirecTV My experience is that WGN broadcasts didn't air on the EI channels anyway. They only showed CSN games, but you can watch the other team's broadcast. That has always been true, but I thought that was because DirecTV already offered the broadcast through another channel they have available. Now that WGN is no longer available through DTV, wouldn't it mean that there's an EI channel for it now?

How the hell are the Cubs still in first, this season is officially over, _____ is on pace for 162 HR and 648 RBI, Fire Sveum/Theo/Hoyer/the beer vendors, etc etc.

Miracle drug? LOL!!!! What kind of miracle does it perform? You're an embarrassment to everything. This is sufficiently dumbed-down for you: http://guyism.com/lifestyle/10-major-health-benefits-of-medical-marijuana.html More like excessively dumbed down. This just says a group of (freely weed-dispensing, borderline activist) doctors are willing to prescribe marijuana to people who claim to suffer from migraines. The wording does nothing to address the effectiveness. I treat all my migraines with bacon and beer. I couldn't find the study, so I'll accept that marijuana is comparably effective to Ritalin, but the part about side effects is completely unnecessary. Either it's trying to misleadingly imply that marijuana doesn't have any negative side effects, or it's playing captain obvious and saying that marijuana's side effects are just different from Ritalin's. Anecdotal evidence? Seriously? Anecdotal evidence also suggests that marijuana leads to hallucinogenic murderous rampages. It also suggests that I have an eleven-inch dong.

She was TDY for three months, and a week before she got back, they sent me out of town for another two. I'm in Knoxville, in the final two weeks of that stretch.
