Cubs came back to take the lead. Starlin Castro just looks like a natural in the box. His swing is so smooth.

Fox showed a pretty crazy stat, Travis Wood in 21 career starts, 516 batters faced had never had a stolen base attempted while hes been on the mound.

Colby Rasmus stealing 2nd is the first stolen base ever against Wood, not just successful, but attempted.

Crazy.

What was Heyward looking for? Seriously, that pitch was right down the middle.

Consistency! It'd be qiute a feat if they manage to do that all the way to 81-81... but realistic one streak is bound to happen.

Reds tie the game 2-2 on a Votto 2 run homer, Albert unties it in the bottom half of the inning with a solo shot of his own, 3-2 Cards in the bottom of the 6th.

Feliz is on the DL with shoulder soreness

Some Ranger fans are acting like the sky is falling, but I think they will be fine

Atlanta really had a game plan today against Timmy and he was uncharacteristically wild....6 walks after only 7 in his first 4 starts. Let's get more off the 'pen.

Haha! We have Run Support!

Re: 4/18 - 4/24 Game Discussion Thread

Screw the official scorer in the Tigers/White Sox game. He stole a possible no hit attempt away from Brad Penny in the 6th, on a hit ruling that was clearly not a hit. Runner would have been out by 2 or 3 steps with a good throw. I guess any play that isn't routine, is a hit. You don't make that ruling when a pitcher has a no hitter. Brandon Inge would tell you he should have made that play, and it wasn't a hit.

Ozzie took his team completely out of the game by (I'm assuming) trying to give his bullpen a rest. With the way Edwin Jackson looked, I don't know how he let him stay in there that long.

It would have not of mattered. The Sox aren't a hitting jack today (they don't even have a legitimate hit).

Re: 4/18 - 4/24 Game Discussion Thread

That call really messed up the no hit bid.

Cabrera was 2-3 steps AWAY from the bag and the ball bounced. How is that not an error? Even with all that, the runner would be out by 2 steps if Cabrera had caught the ball. Really bad call.

I wish they shut up about that error on Pierre. It hit the outside of his glove. Just a bonehead play. He's like "Oh that's such a tough error, I mean the ball was hit really hard and it was coming down." WTF? He had his glove turned the wrong made and would have made that play easily if he held his glove right. Lol. What ball hit to the outfield is not coming down or hit hard??

Tigers on are point today though. Everybody hitting, Penny rolling. Life is good when you are beating up on Chicago.
