I don't have video here at work, so i can't comment on this one specifically...
… but i have felt like this season has been full of stories about the umps. That in and of itself shouldn’t be happening. They should be transparent, a phantom in the game. We are heading towards NBA level bad / game changing calls on a weekly basis, both with the Cubs and elsewhere in the loge.
…but if I had a machine that was constantly filled with refreshing beverages of various colors and flavors, I would place it on a pedestal, not destroy the crap outta it.
But not. I’m glad to be workin’ on my PhD down here. But I sure as shit wouldn’t go west of Topeka.
Lawrence is a great college town, KU wins nothing but championships, the co-eds are bloody brilliant, and we have the best pitcher in baseball, Zach Greinke. Oh, and we had Michael Vick for awhile, too.
Wild pitch by Zambrano scored the run on a close play. Zambrano argued and either bumped or was bumped or was in the grassy knoll or smeared by the Illuminati or some other conspiracy. He was ejected.
to have him be the enforcer with the umps not the players. You aren’t going to get them to change a call and are only going to get the umps riled up at the players.
I think his big beef was that they didn’t play with any fire or cohesion after the first ten minutes. So he claims. I’m still at work so I split between the gamecasts.
I've been pulling for the Cubs more years than you've been on earth my friend.....
but to be aware of, and outspoken about Lee’s waning career and Soriano’s less than stellar defense and his inability to lay off low and outside sliders in the dirt, does not make me any less of a Cubs fan than you or the rest of your children

VegasCubFan - May 27, 2009
Time for the stretch
flachimesa - May 27, 2009
Is this the "bump" thread?
flachimesa - May 27, 2009
How many posts does it take to tear an umpire a new one?
One… Two…. Three
Three.
trefrog66 - May 27, 2009
Sounded close
How bad was the call?
Clutch16 - May 27, 2009
Close
but he was safe.
slcathena - May 27, 2009
Gotcha.
Clutch16 - May 27, 2009
Eruption on Mt. Zesivius?
Clutch16 - May 27, 2009
What was Z ejected for?
Cubs and Hawks fan - May 27, 2009
Arguing a close play at home...
and then being bumped by an umpire.
trefrog66 - May 27, 2009
Did the ump bump him?????
razzpunk - May 27, 2009
the ump was moving towards Z
Z pushed him away while he was approaching him.
KaliCub - May 27, 2009
Bumping the ump.
slcathena - May 27, 2009
bumping the umpire on wild pitch that scored Morgan
WanderingWanderer - May 27, 2009
Excessive stupidity
Reddevil - May 27, 2009
So I am watching Gameday from my office.....what happened with Soriano? And Z?
razzpunk - May 27, 2009
Oh Goody
Zambrano just cost himself another start. Maybe two.
What a clown.
I don’t care how close the ump was. You don’t touch the ump. It’s freaking non-negotiable and everyone knows it.
He was having such a good day too.
Worf - May 27, 2009
Are you new to baseball?
Pitchers don’t get suspended 10 games for bumping an ump.
kanderber - May 27, 2009
Z cost himself a pinch hit next week.
IowaCubs- - May 27, 2009
Basically.
kanderber - May 27, 2009
Dude...pitchers get suspended long enough to miss starts
Five games for a pitcher is one game for a position player.
Worf - May 27, 2009
They get suspended enough
to miss starts
Worf - May 27, 2009
Uh oh.
Clutch16 - May 27, 2009
Umps shouldn't touch players either . . . I don't think the league will do anything here.
Maybe a fine or small suspension for throwing the ball . . .
TheRiot02 - May 27, 2009
Maybe he'll just get a technical balk.
santoswoodenlegs - May 27, 2009
See! There should be technical balks!
Then he’d still be in the game!
Worf - May 27, 2009
yeah nothing fopr the bump
but what about the throwing of the ball, is there precedent?
KaliCub - May 27, 2009
I think there's something about throwing equipment
Not sure the ball qualifies
TheRiot02 - May 27, 2009
Worf:
These umps have to stop being confrontational, the ump bumped into him.
Jimmyeatworld - May 27, 2009
since the ump
initiated contact, I look forward to the ump being suspended for five games.
drewishdrewid - May 27, 2009
don't hold your breath
KaliCub - May 27, 2009
The call was not bad
It was very close but he looked safe.
BeltwayCubsFan - May 27, 2009
He had the plate blocked...
Jimmyeatworld - May 27, 2009
did look like the hand went around his foot.
KaliCub - May 27, 2009
agreed.
Jimmyeatworld - May 27, 2009
Is this the Clutche free thread?
Jimmyeatworld - May 27, 2009
you wish
Clutche - May 27, 2009
It fascinates me that you have nearly 2000 posts on BCB...
…yet none of them are of any value.
dtpollitt - May 27, 2009
Is that a record?
Clutche - May 27, 2009
A broken

DamonBerryhillsMitt - May 27, 2009

Clutche - May 27, 2009
Thanks
DamonBerryhillsMitt - May 27, 2009
Just ask him when he is going to pay
for those jerseys that he ordered from someone here, I forget who. That seems to make him quiet…
LT - May 27, 2009
Ouch... really?
Cubbie-Tim? I was thinking about ordering from him…
D-Baggery online is one thing, and to be expected. But when it spills over to real life, uncool. Pay for what you buy.
AndrewJStone - May 27, 2009
cubbie Tim is
who he owes the money too
sue369 - May 27, 2009
Thats right
LT - May 27, 2009
Yikes.

Yes, I do. Amazing grasp of the obvious...
Jimmyeatworld - May 27, 2009
so say
we all.
drewishdrewid - May 27, 2009
and I thought you were being decent today...
you just had to follow the leaders….childish
Clutche - May 27, 2009
you wanna know what's decent?
paying for stuff you custom order.
drewishdrewid - May 27, 2009
That should put an end to the
Clutche posts for today
LT - May 27, 2009
PAY TIM HIS MONEY!
sue369 - May 27, 2009
OR AT LEAST ORDER A L/XL SCALES JERSEY AND DON'T PAY FOR IT!!
SO I CAN BUY IT!
dtpollitt - May 27, 2009
Pay him
Pay dat man his money.
DamonBerryhillsMitt - May 27, 2009
Duke has ~100 pitches
Come on guys, take advantage of it, and let’s get to him! Patience at the plate, dammit!
Urbanfury - May 27, 2009
Z is a hothead but these umps are pretty much looking for fights.....
razzpunk - May 27, 2009
Which is why they should be fined...
…or ejected if they get in the face of a player and/or encourage this kind of behavior.
Urbanfury - May 27, 2009
Seems that way doesn't it?
sue369 - May 27, 2009
I don't have video here at work, so i can't comment on this one specifically...
… but i have felt like this season has been full of stories about the umps. That in and of itself shouldn’t be happening. They should be transparent, a phantom in the game. We are heading towards NBA level bad / game changing calls on a weekly basis, both with the Cubs and elsewhere in the loge.
AndrewJStone - May 27, 2009
I wish Soriano would've bumped at least one of those pitches with his bat.
santoswoodenlegs - May 27, 2009
Nice HR swing Theriot....dummy.
santoswoodenlegs - May 27, 2009
You know what movie really scared me when I was a kid? Chucky. (shivers)
dtpollitt - May 27, 2009
Did Zambrano break the Gatorade dispenser?
dtpollitt - May 27, 2009
he just fixed for Dempster
VegasCubFan - May 27, 2009
That's not a sentence.
dtpollitt - May 27, 2009
is badly grammar, true
VegasCubFan - May 27, 2009
Took out the top of it w/ a bat
RIOTSHIRTS.com - May 27, 2009
How many pitches was Z at?
trefrog66 - May 27, 2009
110

WanderingWanderer - May 27, 2009
Bump around... bump around...
malicedoom - May 27, 2009
Bump! The ump! Bump! The ump!
daver - May 27, 2009
Bump, Bump, Everybody Bump!
slcathena - May 27, 2009
Sigh...I really wish the Cubs would score some runs.
They need this game…badly.
daver - May 27, 2009
Wow - inning over already?
malicedoom - May 27, 2009
This crew of umps has been confrontational all series.....
Lilly and now Z……why do the umps have all this swagger anyways……shouldn’t they get in trouble for being like this?
razzpunk - May 27, 2009
Remember the rookie umpire that worked Lou over several games last year?
flachimesa - May 27, 2009
Draco, or Drake
I HATE that guy.
drewishdrewid - May 27, 2009
That's him....Rob Drake
flachimesa - May 27, 2009
From Harry Potter??
dtpollitt - May 27, 2009
yes!
in fact, he even has the hair!
drewishdrewid - May 27, 2009
No one on the corner gots swagger like us

Carlos "The Playa" Marmol on the mound.

Oh shit
malicedoom - May 27, 2009
Que?
Clutch16 - May 27, 2009
Carlos
“the Papa” Marmol.
drewishdrewid - May 27, 2009
I thought this one
was his first but it’s his second.
sue369 - May 27, 2009
Seriously, why does Judd always scream when he's doing the scoreboard updates?
WanderingWanderer - May 27, 2009
Good question...
Jimmyeatworld - May 27, 2009
He knows we're trying to ignore him.
daver - May 27, 2009
Because that's easy for him to do.
Fishbone2 - May 27, 2009
Max
has no inside voice either.
drewishdrewid - May 27, 2009
That's cuz he's a Brewer.
Doesn’t tuck his shirt in either, does he????
dtpollitt - May 27, 2009
you bet he does
I make sure of that.
And it’s not HIS fault that the pants showed up three sizes too big.
drewishdrewid - May 27, 2009
LOL
dtpollitt - May 27, 2009
who's Max?
WanderingWanderer - May 27, 2009

At this point I'm more concerned about the Gatorade dispenser than I am anything else.
Com’on Zambrano, THAT’S NOT G
dtpollitt - May 27, 2009
Reinforce it with titanium
Like my knee, which is presently very unhappy
Clutch16 - May 27, 2009
And then
Z would break his hand punching it.
Worf - May 27, 2009
Looked like Rothschild
almost took a bat to the head in the middle of Z’s ridiculousness.
Reddevil - May 27, 2009
poor defensless Gatorade dispenser
What did it ever do to big Z?
VegasCubFan - May 27, 2009
I dunno...
…but if I had a machine that was constantly filled with refreshing beverages of various colors and flavors, I would place it on a pedestal, not destroy the crap outta it.
dtpollitt - May 27, 2009
Hah! A literal LOL...

AndrewJStone - May 27, 2009
Thank you good sir.
dtpollitt - May 27, 2009
Is the Pirates pen any good?
Or can we take advantage in the final innings?
Urbanfury - May 27, 2009
Capps used to be good.
Reddevil - May 27, 2009
Out indefinitely, tho
Poor guy.
Clutch16 - May 27, 2009
I believe Capps is hurt
flachimesa - May 27, 2009
John Grabow is the closer now?
flachimesa - May 27, 2009
Not really...
We can, and will take advantage. We will win this game.
Jimmyeatworld - May 27, 2009
What just happened?
malicedoom - May 27, 2009
Like, when?
daver - May 27, 2009
First the earth cooled
And then the dinosaurs came
Worf - May 27, 2009

If you lived here in Kansas you'd have a different answer, Worf...
dtpollitt - May 27, 2009
I wouldn't be caught dead in Kansas

dtpollitt - May 27, 2009
I'm almost hurt (sniffle).
But not. I’m glad to be workin’ on my PhD down here. But I sure as shit wouldn’t go west of Topeka.
Lawrence is a great college town, KU wins nothing but championships, the co-eds are bloody brilliant, and we have the best pitcher in baseball, Zach Greinke. Oh, and we had Michael Vick for awhile, too.
dtpollitt - May 27, 2009
Hahaha!
Yeah, I told my son to say “hi” to Vick when he was driving home 05-15.
thermal54 - May 27, 2009
I'm sure Lawrence is cool
My experience with Kansas is riding across there when I was 9.
The road was just one straight line. I think people might drove off the road just to break the monotony.
Worf - May 27, 2009
Just Now, Moss Singled
wallrock - May 27, 2009
OK... looks like
Soriano misplayed a single into a triple
Wild pitch by Zambrano scored the run on a close play. Zambrano argued and either bumped or was bumped or was in the grassy knoll or smeared by the Illuminati or some other conspiracy. He was ejected.
Worf - May 27, 2009
This wouldn't have happened if Scales was on the roster
he’d have stared that Ump into the ground
VegasCubFan - May 27, 2009
Cmon, Carlos
one runner on, one out. Let’s go.
drewishdrewid - May 27, 2009
FILTHY SLIDERS!
drewishdrewid - May 27, 2009
Lou really needs to get his players
to have him be the enforcer with the umps not the players. You aren’t going to get them to change a call and are only going to get the umps riled up at the players.
KaliCub - May 27, 2009
Absolutely Correct
wallrock - May 27, 2009
+ A LOT
malicedoom - May 27, 2009
You don't think he's tried that?
Zambrano is a hothead. Bradley is a hothead. Even Lilly has a temper.
Worf - May 27, 2009
the cubs could have their own little anger management group
WanderingWanderer - May 27, 2009
I'm sure Lou has told them that repeatedly
Worf - May 27, 2009
have no idea
what happens in the clubhouse. But he needs to do better either way.
KaliCub - May 27, 2009
Lou didn't have a chance...
Z was gone before he even got out there.
carmen_fanzone - May 27, 2009
Now I wish I'd DVR'd this game.
daver - May 27, 2009
Watch the replay on MLB.TV?
Clutch16 - May 27, 2009
Probably.
daver - May 27, 2009
I think Soto needed to grab Z before it escalated . . .
TheRiot02 - May 27, 2009
maybe he can have Trammel
ready for an arguement, I’m sure he can scurry out of the dugout a little faster than Lou.
KaliCub - May 27, 2009
Sori makes the catch on the looper!
three outs!
drewishdrewid - May 27, 2009
He CAUGHT it?
malicedoom - May 27, 2009
of course he caught it.
he’s the best LF in the league.
drewishdrewid - May 27, 2009
I just threw up my lunch
malicedoom - May 27, 2009

drewishdrewid - May 27, 2009
I never did hear why Lilly got ejected last night....what happened?
santoswoodenlegs - May 27, 2009
He punched the Gatorade dispenser. I was so mad.
dtpollitt - May 27, 2009
he was yelling at the ump from the dugout
about balls and strikes.
WanderingWanderer - May 27, 2009
Lilly
was arguing strike calls from the dugout, and the ump tossed him. Lilly jumped the fence and gave him a piece of his mind.
drewishdrewid - May 27, 2009
He was giving the ump crap for not "concentrating."

PhillyCub - May 27, 2009
Yeah
My pal’s pretty down – just called me to break the news. I was too stoked about Johnson’s homer to commiserate though.
wallrock - May 27, 2009
I figured out how to do
split screen on my TV, so I saw the Johnson HR and the end of the game.
Tell your pal Man U at least won their league. They at least won something
PhillyCub - May 27, 2009
Definitely
I think his big beef was that they didn’t play with any fire or cohesion after the first ten minutes. So he claims. I’m still at work so I split between the gamecasts.
wallrock - May 27, 2009
Yay Soto!
slcathena - May 27, 2009
Cubs are in the lead!
and we now have a Clutche free thread

Clutche - May 27, 2009
you just don't get it.
drewishdrewid - May 27, 2009
I've been pulling for the Cubs more years than you've been on earth my friend.....
but to be aware of, and outspoken about Lee’s waning career and Soriano’s less than stellar defense and his inability to lay off low and outside sliders in the dirt, does not make me any less of a Cubs fan than you or the rest of your children
Clutche - May 27, 2009
Except you apparently don't mind
stiffing a fellow Cub fan….
LT - May 27, 2009
I seriously doubt the veracity of this statement...
Jimmyeatworld - May 27, 2009
do you even know how old I am?
and I didn’t call your cubs fandom into question, just your ability to get along with people and your honor.
drewishdrewid - May 27, 2009
My frankness rubs some of the children here the wrong way...what do you suggest?
Clutche - May 27, 2009
it's not your
“frankness”. It’s your attitude. Fully encased in the post above.
What do I suggest? You’re a lost cause. Leave.
drewishdrewid - May 27, 2009
won't happen dude
Clutche - May 27, 2009
No I don't, but your child would suggest you're much younger than I
Clutche - May 27, 2009
and if it does
so what?
drewishdrewid - May 27, 2009
you'll understand when you grow up
Clutche - May 27, 2009
why?
you clearly don’t.
drewishdrewid - May 27, 2009
Really?
and how old are you smarty pants? As if you will tell the truth…
Jimmyeatworld - May 27, 2009
If you are such a grown
adult as you say you do know it’s wrong to stiff people right?
sue369 - May 27, 2009

Clutche - May 27, 2009
incorrect.
drewishdrewid - May 27, 2009
Does age guarantee intelligence and/or respect?
A mature adult would realize that you earn respect not obtain it by aging.

A mature adult

So yes, I agree.
slcathena - May 27, 2009
I don't mind anything that seems unforced...
… but “we need at State Farm insurance run!” is forced. Makes me feel dirty.
AndrewJStone - May 27, 2009
I'd love a few more for Gregg though

I'd like to see Fox...
PH this inning.
CubsBullsBears - May 27, 2009
I'm telling ya'll...
All the hotheadedness on this team is going to foster an us vs. them mentality, that will in turn propel them to many more wins.
Jimmyeatworld - May 27, 2009
+1...
… we (somebody) were calling for a Lou blowup this morning. Why can’t a Z blowup have the same effect?
AndrewJStone - May 27, 2009
When was the last time Gregg pitched?
and when was his last Save Opp?
TheRiot02 - May 27, 2009
Both scary questions
malicedoom - May 27, 2009
when you say pitched
do you mean when he actually got a person out or just threw the ball at the opposing teams bats?
VegasCubFan - May 27, 2009
Guess I should have clarified . . .
I meant the latter
TheRiot02 - May 27, 2009
I know, I know...
but do we have to see Gregg today?
slcathena - May 27, 2009
Don't know, don't care.
Keep Turtle from Entourage in his seat.
dtpollitt - May 27, 2009
I wanna say he pitched in the Padres series just to get some work in.
daver - May 27, 2009
I believe he did
drewishdrewid - May 27, 2009
Fonty
high fly ball to center. Two outs, Soto stays at first.
drewishdrewid - May 27, 2009
in the Pirate ninth
pinch hitter for the pitcher, then leadoff & #2 hittier.
drewishdrewid - May 27, 2009
there's an incentive
for a 1-2-3 inning not to face McClouth and those LarOches
KaliCub - May 27, 2009
Blanco
goes up to hit lefty
drewishdrewid - May 27, 2009
Not sure why?
He’s a switch hitter. He hit righty the first ab then all lefty.
Fishbone2 - May 27, 2009
Like to see Fox here...
But we need Blanco’s defense.
Worf - May 27, 2009

Do we know just HOW BAD Fox is at 3rd base?
Is he worse than Ryan Braun was at 3rd?
TheRiot02 - May 27, 2009
Probably, yeah.

What has happened?
chilango2 - May 27, 2009
Z lost his mind and got tossed...
… cubs look decent otherwise.
AndrewJStone - May 27, 2009
What?! Why?
Lost his mind?? Like, got nekid on-field or something?
chilango2 - May 27, 2009
Close play at the plate.
Didn’t go Z’s way.
He argued.
Ump bumped him.
He bumped the ump back.
He took it out on the gatorade machine with a bat.
slcathena - May 27, 2009
close play at the plate
went against him.
drewishdrewid - May 27, 2009
10-game suspension-type deal?
Oh [darn].
chilango2 - May 27, 2009
the ump
initiated the contact. we’ll see. He’s sure to appeal.
drewishdrewid - May 27, 2009
Prob 5.
slcathena - May 27, 2009
Probably at least 7 to be lowered to 5 or 6
after appeal. The ump will get double secret probation that we’ll never know about.
LT - May 27, 2009
I'll be [darned]
So, Spellcheck recalled?
chilango2 - May 27, 2009
I'd expect
him to appeal any suspension, to allow Wells to take any starts he might miss.
drewishdrewid - May 27, 2009
Play at the plate...
Called safe, the ump appeared to bump Z and Z bumped back. Z then threw the ball towards the stands somewhere.
CubsBullsBears - May 27, 2009
Argued a close play at the plate...
…. bumped in to / was bumped by an ump, equipment was thrown, feelings were hurt, on and on.
AndrewJStone - May 27, 2009

KaliCub - May 27, 2009
Soto running hard to make Zambrano eat his words.
santoswoodenlegs - May 27, 2009
Or because someone told him
that Ted Lilly was eating his cheesecake while he was stuck on the bases.
Worf - May 27, 2009
LOL
Doggie Stalker - May 27, 2009
Huh?
What does that mean?
wombat - May 27, 2009
After Z got injured running out the bunt
He promised he would now run even slower than Soto
Doggie Stalker - May 27, 2009
Fox pinch hitting.
drewishdrewid - May 27, 2009
For those without a visual: Here's a screen grab of the Morgan/Zambrano play
(Clickable Thumbnail)
Reddevil - May 27, 2009
hard to tell
it’s not very big. I think I can see Morgan’s hand reaching out to the plate.
drewishdrewid - May 27, 2009
I think I see Morgan's hand holding a 20 out to the ump
VegasCubFan - May 27, 2009

Keep the child
here’s the vid
tony412 - May 27, 2009
first
that’s actually a lot more measured than I thought.
And the ump TOTALLY got in his face and initiated the contact.
drewishdrewid - May 27, 2009
Agreed...
… Z lost it and shouldn’t have… but the ump did NOT help the situation any.
AndrewJStone - May 27, 2009
This time we totally agree.
KaliCub - May 27, 2009
Gatorade...

OK that kid is going to drive me crazy with his defense
But first time up, works an 8-pitch AB and hits an RBI double?
I’m sold.
Worf - May 27, 2009
As long as he doesn't get into a bumping match with an ump...
Jimmyeatworld - May 27, 2009
That was pretty damn impressive, I'll admit.
daver - May 27, 2009
Watching Game Cast
It looked like he was laying off bad pitches pretty good. He had the one swing in the dirt, but hell, lots of guys do that.
The scouting report posted earlier made it seem like he shut his eyes and ripped. I didn’t see that there.
Worf - May 27, 2009
hope he never
argues a call.
drewishdrewid - May 27, 2009
Why would he?
Is he a moron and a hothead?

Dear Big Cubs Fan in the Sky,
Please help Gregg to get a save here. Please.
Thanks,

Why dd freel leave the game?
Cubbiegoon - May 27, 2009
Because he sucks.

VegasCubFan - May 27, 2009
Who's more scared when Kevin Gregg comes in?
Cubs fans? Or opposing batters?
dtpollitt - May 27, 2009
Cubs fans.

the fans for sure, he has nothing opposing hitters should fear

I think that was more "Awwwwwwwwww"
than boo. They were upset, but not ready to boo. Should Gregg allow this guy to reach, the boos will come out
WanderingWanderer - May 27, 2009
remember these ARE the pirates
i mean i realize we’ve been scuffling and ANY win is great, but we’re SUPPOSED to be pounding these scrubs…
i’m the eternal optomist, but let’s run a ton of these together before we get too excited, but this team is showing some heart
12to23to17 - May 27, 2009

ONLY A WALK!
dtpollitt - May 27, 2009
Oh BS...that's strike 3 ump....
carmen_fanzone - May 27, 2009
Gregg leadoff walk..phewww
cubsnlinux - May 27, 2009
geez, why be so tight with the pitches.
throw it in there, don’t walk the leadoff guy.
KaliCub - May 27, 2009
You know why Sanchez can take that pitch on 3-2?
Because Gregg gives up walks in the 9th like it’s going on of style. Unreal.
slcathena - May 27, 2009
I would argue
that it is actually going out of style.
Reddevil - May 27, 2009
Touche
My point was more that no one should be taking that with 2 strikes…and yet…
slcathena - May 27, 2009
Point well made
I’m just sick of this ish.
Reddevil - May 27, 2009
Agreed.
slcathena - May 27, 2009

cubsnlinux - May 27, 2009
Hear that?
Its Lou blowing a gasket over Gregg’s quality pitching
VegasCubFan - May 27, 2009
and yet he keeps sending him out there in the 9th inning
WanderingWanderer - May 27, 2009
he's the closer
drewishdrewid - May 27, 2009
Lou is able to change that
if he’s going to piss and moan when Gregg’s out there, it’s well within his power to do something about it.
WanderingWanderer - May 27, 2009
Or
Carlson’s quality umpiring
leothelip - May 27, 2009
I think it was this.
slcathena - May 27, 2009
Nothing worth having ever comes easy...
Jimmyeatworld - May 27, 2009

Well.
One was a walk…
slcathena - May 27, 2009
and then a blast two feet from a homerun
WanderingWanderer - May 27, 2009
but NOT a HR....true?
carmen_fanzone - May 27, 2009
he gave up a walk, and then got blasted
and would not have gotten a DP if not for Sanchez running. It wasn’t ALL Gregg
WanderingWanderer - May 27, 2009
you should look up "sarcasm" in the dictionary, dude.
carmen_fanzone - May 27, 2009
It was a fly ball inducing double play....
just like he wanted….lol
carmen_fanzone - May 27, 2009
it was
the entire team.
drewishdrewid - May 27, 2009
Pat didn't do much in the way of a description
I really didn’t understand very well what was happening.
chilango2 - May 27, 2009
big hit to Bradley
Sanchez thought it was out, and ran. He was at third when Bradley caught it, and got doubled up.
drewishdrewid - May 27, 2009
Who calls Bradley
a DH?
leothelip - May 27, 2009
What if....
Gregg actually throws strikes like a beast without glasses, but he only wears glasses to give other players a fighting chance.
Cubbiegoon - May 27, 2009
kinda like Superman?

Let’s try this again – linky
tony412 - May 27, 2009
Oh man
10 games. And he lost his crap really bad towards people—and things—that didn’t deserve it.
chilango2 - May 27, 2009
Sweet, I'm there now.
daver - May 27, 2009
Maybe it's the angle...
…but I don’t see where Z bumped him at all. Still hard to say about the play.
daver - May 27, 2009
we'll prob get the short end
the ump was moving toward Z, and Z pushed him away.
KaliCub - May 27, 2009
Len said Z
pushed the umps arm.
sue369 - May 27, 2009
Yes, thats correct
The ump was coming toward him and Z pushed him away with his/arm/shoulder.
Z get ding for the arguement and the ball toss, but the contact should be on the ump.
