Cub-splosion!

Excellent Cubs win today. Thanks in large part to Kolten Wong and Jaime Garcia. Dodgers are in trouble facing Thor and having Greinke already give up 2 runs.

Last Cubs player I remember is Kerry Wood.

Last Cubs player I remember is Kerry Wood.

Is his 20 strikeout game against the Astros the reason for that?

 

[trigg3r]

To add insult to injury the Mets lose tonight after a questionable replay call is made on a takeout slide at 2nd where Utley ends up breaking Tejada's leg.... Cub fans can certainly relate with Met fans tonight...

 

[Bronco70]

Purposely making a play on an infielder, rather than the base, to break up a DP is just dangerous. I've hated it for years, and I'm mystified that MLB allows it. Tejada is not the first guy to be seriously injured by that play.

I don't have a problem with it if you don't go over the bag to make contact. I do have a problem when you make no attempt at a slide and go over the bag or go outside of the accepted parameters. If you slide at a point where you can't make contact with the bag it is dangerous and irresponsible. I felt the Coghlan/Kang slide was clean last month. The Utley and Holliday(on Scutaro over the bag) seemed dirty.

I agree.

 

[Duck Rodgers]

It was dirty, no question.

 

[UGLI baby]

So bogus.

Mets comin for Utley now.

 

[UGLI baby]
