Solid first half inning, anyways.

Something went wrong behind him, therefore Carlos is about to go nuclear because he's a hothead.  Boy, haven't heard that before.  Thanks for the insight, ESPN.

Who is butchering, uh, calling the game for ESPN?

We'll always have that. This part where they have to get people out ain't so hot.

I don't know, but he's driving me nuts.  Likes to pretty much shout every other word.

DPD for some BREAKING NEWS: Ron Santo is already bitching and moaning like someone killed his dog.  Cubs baseball on WGN!

What the hell channel is the game on in Chicago? I get WGN and CommiCast Chicago, and on the latter there's some retarded dude babbling in broken English.

Flagship station WCIU, of course.

Opening day...that's ridiculous.

I don't like the idea of instant replay in baseball, but fuck if the umps aren't making
me change my minds.

That was particularly deflating. It's hard to believe something that obvious can be called that way. I'd understand someone getting beaten to the bag and you're not sure which player got there first. This, though, is inexcusable. Sad.

That was worse than the Jeffrey Maier fan interference non-call.  Probably right up there with the Denkinger call, albeit with significantly less at stake.

That Denkinger call was the greatest umpiring of all time; and I won't hear arguments to the contrary.

The umpiring was particularly brutal in the postseason last year and some people were howling about instant replay at the time. I wasn't one of them but I was howling for most every MLB ump to get shitcanned. I'm going to go howl about it up on my roof for awhile. If you're in Lakeview, say hi.
