OmarComing25 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Put this one as another "horseshoe up the ass" type game for the Cubs. Maeur gets thrown out at 2nd in the ninth because he slid over the bag, and Hunter got a hit later in the inning that could have scored him. Then in the top of the 10th Dozier fumbles an easy ground ball by Fowler who scored the go-ahead run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Twins just gave the game to the Cubs with bad defense and horrific base running. Be nice if they ever played that dumb vs the Sox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) Wada hurt, which probably speeds up their acquisition of a starting pitcher. Edited June 23, 2015 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Bryant is going to put up silly numbers with wind blowing out in the summer. Cubs looking very dangerous, especially if they add someone like Hamels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 What are the rumors out of Cincy about Chapman and Cueto? Â Are the Cubs interested in either? Â What are the Phillies asking for Hamels (now)....how much salary relief are they willing to include? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the tornado coverage was very important last night, but to have no place for the game at all for a long period, that didn't make sense either.

Knowing the possibility of a tornado is on its way is pretty important for a lot of people  I agree it's more important, and I can't fault WGN for breaking in. On the other hand, some people just need a general awareness of the bad weather in the area, and want to continue to watch what they were watching. Considering there are alternate channels that I would think are easy access, they should have been able to switch over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, that was the town that was hit. There were many more towns around it that are closer to Chicago that could possibly get a tornado.

Dick Allen Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Maddon was pissed a replay didn't get overturned last night. He thinks the replay guys should be non working umpires. I think he's right. Either that, or when a play goes to replay, don't let the replay guy know what the call on the field is. Make them decide simply by the replay.
