"I was waiting for it"

"I knew it was gonna happen."

I assumed Lou was gonna go nuts but he must be on Vallllium.

I think Renteria better watch his a$$, he's liable to be a target on the next DP he tries to turn.

[Tim C]

Joe Morgan has proved, yet again, that he is a total idiot.

Hope Jimpiano see this post.

Hey TimC....when were you inducted into the Hall of Fame?

Jim Wolf tossed the Cubs pitcher for what was clearly an intentional HBP on Edgar Renteria of the Braves. You can tell by the replay that the pitch went exactly where the pitcher aimed (on 0-2). Piniella of course thinks there was no intent, that the pitcher was just trying to pitch inside. Yeah, and I'm the King of France.

Now Joe Moron is interviewing Piniella, and confirming what I just said about him (and what Tee said about Morgan).

Renteria should have been run by Jim Joyce for intentionally slugging the Cubs' second baseman when he stole second base, and popped up late and applied a forearm shiver to the rook.

For more details, TURN ON THE GAME!

Hey, when was Jon Miller? These two baboons belong in the freakin' zoo!

Miller the SF Giant homer and Morgan the Magpie who won't shut up about Jim Wolf's ejection. It's the 4th inning, and he hasn't dropped it yet. Once a rat, always a rat.

What exactly did Morgan ask Piniella that seemed to confuse you?

[Welpe]

Any idea why Lilly threw at Renteria?

[SanDiegoSteve]

piano: I wasn't confused about anything.

Welpe: Because the Braves were throwing at the Cubs the night before, including nailing Soriano on the first pitch of the game.

[Welpe]

Thanks Steve, that would do it!

So it seems Sweet Lou was complaining that there weren't any warnings given before the game.

[jimpiano]

Pretty nice interview with Smoltz.

[SanDiegoSteve]

Yeah, they kept trying to get Smoltz to agree with them, but Smoltz thought Lilly was throwing at Renteria on purpose too. Smoltz said that the umpire did what he was supposed to do, and that normally the players would take care of it, but not in this case.

SanDiegoSteve says:

Were you paying attention?

[SanDiegoSteve]

Yes I was. Morgan kept trying to bait Smoltz into saying that Wolf should not have ejected Lilly. Smoltz kept rephrasing his answer to indicate that sometimes the umpires need to step in and do something, and other times the players can take care of it. Morgan wanted Smoltz to throw Wolf under the bus, and to his credit, he did not take the bait.

Now, get back under your bridge please, as you have now asked your allotted 3 questions.
