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! ![]()

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.

The crew and Wolf made many mistakes. 1. Did Hudson line his cap with aluminum foil on Sat. to keep HP ump from reading his mind? Is there anyone in the room that doesn't think Hudson threw at Sorianos head on purpose? 2. If Wolf 'knew it was coming' and 'was waiting for it' then why wasn't a pregame warning issued? Maybe he'd rather toss than prevent. and if he'd done his job and issued the pregame warning he probably would have prevented Rentaria's hand injury and Fontenot's busted nose. Which is the whole purpose of the umpires inserting themselves into this aspect of the game isn't it? Obviously Lilly forgot to wear the foil. It's good to know Wolf has a career as a telepathic when the umpire gig goes away. 3. I wonder what Wolf says when he's not mic'ed? If you're going to screw the pooch at least keep your mouth shut. Game management 101, for all you new umpires. Don't be making editorial remarks after a controversial and/or stupid call. 4. Forearm shivers to the nose are ok now? This crew needs to get on the same page. Even if it's the wrong page they all need to be on it. Morgan and his partner saw the inconsistencies in this crews call and were right to point them out. |

2. Maybe the crew (which is headed by Tim Tscheda, not Jim Wolf) decided to let it blow over, and not create negative tension by issuing pre-game warnings. You know, like the Amazing Morgan said, letting the teams handle it. If you look closely at the replay of Lilly, you can see him aim the ball purposefully at Renteria. He tracks the pitch with his eyes, and if you freeze the frame as Renteria is getting hit, Lilly looks well pleased with his efforts. Not only was it intentional, it was aimed toward his head, which is also taken into account when determining whether or not to run someone. Renteria had told Wolf that he expected to get hit. It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure that it was intentional. Some times, you just have to umpire. 3. I wonder what you say during your games. WTF business of anyone's what Wolf says miked up or otherwise? I didn't see it as wrong or controversial. Lilly clearly hit Renteria on purpose, and Wolf kept Renteria from clobbering Lilly. That was his first order of business, to get Renteria away from Lilly. He then came back and ran Lilly. That was much better than running Lilly, and then letting Renteria kick the crap out of Lilly. Lilly claimed he wasn't throwing at Renteria. Sure, we believe you...not. 4. I agree. Renteria should have been thrown out for this act of violence. Jim Joyce just looked the other way. I didn't have a dog in this fight, so my input is unbiased, not the boo-hooings of disgruntled Cubbie fans. Y'all haven't stopped crying since 1984.

Tim and Jim must not be talkin. Quote:
Tim must have missed the head high fastball Hudson aimed at Soriano, or maybe he didn't have access to the same freeze frame replay. Quote:
2. Was the rocket scientist on vacation the day before? 3. Are you saying Renteria is smarter than Wolf? Are you suggesting we all should take input from players prior to making our judgement calls? If Soriano had warned Tim the day before should Tim have ruled differently? How could Renteria know it was him they would go after, why not Jones? Quote:

Aims at Renteria? Looks well pleased? Come on... Honestly, not one of your best efforts SDS, unless your are holding a fresh diploma from the Jim Wolf Mindreading Academy. I agree it was probably intentional, but at his head? IMHO, I don't believe anyone would be going for a head shot. |

QUOTE] Joyce didn't see it because he was far too close to the play. He have been on a proper position, he would have seen everything. Including the tag out. |
