QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 27, 2009 -> 11:16 PM) Soriano expands his zone so often. Throw one eye level or in the dirt. It can't hurt, and there is a real chance he swings at it. He was sitting on the offspeed pitch. He was incredibly late on a 90 mph fastball earlier in the count. Good AB by Soriano, still thought Pods could have been better positioned to catch it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 27, 2009 -> 11:15 PM) You can't throw Soriano a strike with two outs. You have to go out of the zone somewhere. Yep, I had a bad feeling as soon as Soriano was so on top of the plate. Carrasco should have wasted a pitch up and in before dropping down. Carrasco instead threw a pitch that could have been called a possible strike if Soriano didn't swing on it.

They'll probably bring in Marshall after Beckham bats.

Well, that's the last time we ever see Carrasco in a big situation. He choked, pretty plain and simple.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Jun 27, 2009 -> 11:11 PM) our best pitcher, eh? You knew we were in trouble once dumbass McCarver brought that up (from Ozzie's mouth).

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 27, 2009 -> 11:11 PM) I thought this garbage Cubs team couldn't score any runs? They destroy relief pitching lately.

Well this is just terrible. 5 runs scored for them with 2 outs. Every pitch he's thrown has been hittable.

Carrasco is hanging every pitch he throws. Doesn't have it today.

Soriano had a great scouting report on Carrasco, as he was right on top of the plate. This is why you can't walk the f***ing #8 hitter.

And we're tied. Pods did a terrible job on that fly ball.

Carrasco coming in. Don't hang it D.J.!

Time to pull Buehrle! Damn, you can't be walking the #8 hitter like he did.

Ugh, Buehrle struggling a little with his control. Can't let Soriano bat this inning. I want to see Carrasco brought in to face Soriano if he bats this inning.

Big inning here for Buehrle. Cubs will be going to the pen in the 6th. Getz has home run fever since he went yard.

That will do! Great job AJP...and wow Thome is slow.

Come on AJP, just a single.

Time for PK to do something this series.

Wow, that 2-0 pitch was pretty low.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 27, 2009 -> 09:42 PM) You could tell that the last thing Pods cared about was the statistics. That it was something Anderson thought about, might be telling. Oh that's BS...he's thinking about the ladies.

Much better AB by Alexei there.

PODS!

Dempster has nothing out there today, but only Dye and Pods have made good contact.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 27, 2009 -> 10:35 PM) This is by far the worst home-plate ump we've had all year, which is really, really saying something. That Soriano pitch wasn't even on the corner..more like right down the plate.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 27, 2009 -> 10:34 PM) I believe you have to throw the ball to first base, not to the first baseman twenty feet away. If PK would have started to go towards 1b, and Buehrle lobbed it over, you could get away with it. Just a stupid play though, and someone missed a sign.

3 of the most undeserving runs you'll ever see.
