Correja knew he gave Braun the chewy, LOL.

[trwi7]

Let's hope that gets Braun going!!!!!

Winner in the homerun inning contest today. Good job Ryan Braun.

[chadomac]

I may be wrong here, but isn't it a violation for players to chew tobacco during games or have chew with them? I could've just heard that somewhere, but I'm curious what the deal is.

[Kurt]

We have a winner in the Lux air home run inning!

[sheetswannabe]

that would be a perfect pic for Correjas new in game thread pic..

[davemakovec]

Braun you look like poop...stop swingin at poop too!

Nice call!

Now we need to make Correia throw some pitches and get into their bullpen

[trwi7]

So did the strike zone for right handed hitters just extend to the chalk on the left handed batters box for Hall just now?

[trwi7]

Oh yeah for those just blaming Brian for Parra losing the no hitter. ESPNEWS deserves some blame too. They were talking about it right before Velez hit the triple.

[Vgmastr]

There goes Rivera's 1.000 BA

Blame me, I call a no hitter after the first out, it bugs everyone haha!

[sheetswannabe]

I wanna see the streakers!!!!

I doubt it. I've never heard that. You see guys with tins in their back pockets on the basepaths all the time.

[sheetswannabe]

Lee hits a 2 run single...Cubs tie it... 5-5

[Kurt]

They banned it in the minors.. no way they would ban in in MLB.

There has been a no tobacco policy in the minor leagues for about 15 years now, but no such policy is in place in the bigs.

 

[adambr2]

Good grief. Three errors, 1 wild pitch, 1 passed ball. Can we please not hand the Giants the game today?

[trwi7]

If Rivera is a better defensive catcher than Munson then I would hate to see Munson play catcher.

This game has one of those feels of "How the hell did we lose this game?". We're living on the edge every time we're in the field, and our offense hasn't been so hot today. Luckily we're up two still, as I type this there are runners on the corners with no outs.

[Ennder]

I'm only listening to the game but has Rivera looked as bad as he has sounded today? Dropped foul tip 3rd strikes, passed balls etc.

[Kurt]

Fred Lewis?

[trwi7]

I'm only listening to the game but has Rivera looked as bad as he has sounded today? Dropped foul tip 3rd strikes, passed balls etc.

He's had a couple of nice blocks but overall he's been pretty terrible.

[sheetswannabe]

I feel a triple play...

[adambr2]

Where did that pitch miss?

[trwi7]

I feel a triple play...

 

Well it would be pretty interesting to see a triple play form with runners at the corners.

 

On a different note: This umpire is horrible.
