He's got what on his shoes? Ohhhh...

[SeriesFinale]

I think I'm going to puke.

Yeah it sickened me too but I'll admit that I rewound it and watched again three times.

You rewound it? ESPN will only show it another 20 times (no blue) this telecast alone.

[logan82]

2 bad throws for CC in 2 starts. Unbelievable.

[GormanHarvey]

Yeah, true...I thought it was a no-doubter at first by the angle, wayyy up in the Dew Deck, but Miller's voice made me think otherwise.

I'm in the exact same boat. When he hit it I jumped out of my chair and yelled at my tv screen at the shot showing the Dew Deck...and then it seemed to take forever and I said to my fiance "is that not going to go?" And Miller did not sound so sure.

 

Best thing Julio will do all year right there

[Fatter than Joey]

wow --- error, HBP -- I guess walking everyone wasn't efficient

[razzzorsharp]

Reed Johnson was trembling with anger it seemed after the HBP.

[SeriesFinale]

How could anyone watch Julio's wild performance today and Prince's tip of the cap and think that was intentional

[FidoMcCokefiend]

If ARam doesn't kill us this AB I will be amazed.

[Gobias Industries]

It was STL.

 

It really was a crazy play. The ball was so freaking high, and it looked at first like it was a moonshot. But the whole time the ball was in the air, none of the announcers really said anything so you knew it was probably gonna be close.

[GormanHarvey]

If Counsell isn't going to play better defense than this I don't see why he should play over Hall/McGehee much. Except for every pitcher on earth being afraid to throw him a strike

[gypcasino]

You rewound it? ESPN will only show it another 20 times (no blue) this telecast alone.

In this case it's kind of masochistic but I like to see it "as it happens" and not in slow motion.

[razzzorsharp]

In the end not a horrible outing for Julio.

[Gobias Industries]

Man, Kendall rolls over to the left side every AB.

[Fatter than Joey]

Kendall is just like Counsell except without the batting average

[pebadger]

I like how Ramirez was playing in for Kendall's AB. Not because of the bunt threat, but in the way you moved in in Little League when the 3 foot, 42-pound nine-hole hitter was up.

You mean "thirteen-hole"

[razzzorsharp]

A lot of pitches again for the Cubs SP, Dempster with 110.

You're telling me you don't want to see it accompanied by Morgan and Phillips discussing crampons?

Anyway, good to see McGehee get his first of the year at the least. A pretty milquetoast inning there, Duffy hasn't done anything tonight outside watching Soriano's leadoff homer. Well, I guess he had that one pretty decent catch.

[SeriesFinale]

God, with McClung in, the BB total is gonna be off the charts tonight.

[GormanHarvey]

The man currently on the mound needs to replace Suppan soon imo

[Big]

I can't wait for this final game of the series to be over so at least my blood pressure can get back to normal. all three games have been like this.

[logan82]

I wouldn't mind a 6-4 loss half so much if we didn't walk in 4 of the other team's runs. At least we didn't walk the pitcher.

 

Holy crap is this pen going to be tough to watch this year with Julio and McClung throwing the ball all over the place.

[SeriesFinale]

Nice catch in foul territory by Corey there, that had disaster written all over it with Weeks and Fielder closing in.

[RU Rah Rah]

Kendall is just like Counsell except without the batting average

I know -- he never had any power, and now there no OBP, either. I'm not exactly sure what's left (hitting-wise).

[cnycerveceros]

Nice inning from McClung. Uncalled for comment from John Miller.
