HOLY s***, WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS UMPIRE!

QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Jun 27, 2009 -> 10:32 PM) 0-1 pitch looked like a strike. But the "classy" Lee argued the first pitch, and helped him on the 2nd pitch.

That run courtesy of this home plate umpire.

You have to walk Lee here and hope to get Fox out.

Ugh, more great communication. What the f*** is wrong with this infield!!

Another walk by Buehrle. Cubs about to take the lead here with 1st and 2nd, no outs.

Can we get one f***ing call from the umpires against the Cubs? Soriano with leadoff hit after being bailed out by this crappy ump.

Wow, should have been strike 3 to Soriano

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 27, 2009 -> 09:19 PM) I get the feeling Mark isn't allowed to give up anything else. Haha, was thinking the same, and also thinking top of the 5th will be a trouble inning.

Crap, Beckham got a massive hanger, and couldn't do anything with it.

QUOTE (bobryansson @ Jun 27, 2009 -> 10:17 PM) Ok, totally and completely unfounded, but it seemed like Ramirez was totally focused last year. I just gotta wonder if something else is having an effect on his head this year. New country, lots o' money, ... Ramirez made a ton of boneheaded errors after the ASB last year.

Getz now 1 for his last 25 I believe. He'll likely be running here.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 27, 2009 -> 10:15 PM) He's been calling that same cutter to lefties that is six/eight inches outside for Buehrle. To be fair, I thought that was strike 3 on Getz.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 27, 2009 -> 10:13 PM) Buehrle has been getting a huge zone too, especially on that corner. I can't complain. It's been big, but you can't call a slider from a righty pitcher to a righty hitter that is caught inside.

Jeez, that pitch wasn't even f'n close.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 27, 2009 -> 09:08 PM) And a damned good shortstop if he pays f***ing attention to what is going on. I did say yesterday I love your Tyrus Thomas comparison.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 27, 2009 -> 10:07 PM) He looks like a 45 year old crack addict.... Subtract 10 years, and you're accurate.

Hell of a play by Alexei!

Alexei showing he'd make a great CF.

Yay, a leadoff walk by Buehrle. Things were going so well about 10 minutes ago.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 27, 2009 -> 09:01 PM) Didn't he also make a lot of errors at SS down in BIR? Yes...which is why 2nd is a lot better option (and we remove the soft hitting average fielder with a .625 OPS)

Cubs make some nice defensive plays that inning. They have all the momentum in this game.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 27, 2009 -> 09:59 PM) Also its hard to blame Beckham for not being amazing at 3b when its not his best position. When you play people out of position, they may not play that well. According to the announcers, Beckham basically told them he has no idea what he's doing out there. He absolutely has to stop throwing so high over to 3rd base though. Throw it low and give PK a chance at least.

Need to get the momentum back in this game.

This is absolutely ridiculous. Tie game, and Cubs looking for more. Jeff Cox can't be fired soon enough. Alexei, feel free to dive, thanks!
