Padres had a runner on first down 2-0. Ground ball almost up the middle is stopped by Grudz, who flips it to Nomar, and looks to get the force out. The Padres' runner makes an unorthodox "slide" that makes Nomar throw an off-balance throw, which winds up in the seats. Froeming called the runner safe at second, citing that Nomar wasn't on the base when he had the ball and thus, runners move up to second and third with nobody out. Replays from every angle show that Nomar was clearly on the base when he had the ball and had the runner out by a mile. More drama later in the inning, as a Padre wasn't called out on what appeared to be a failed check swing, leading to the ejection of Larry Rothschild.

I'm still shocked at how good El Duque has been doing since his return to the Yankees.

This has been the worst season ever. Ted Lilly goes 6 2/3, only giving up 1 run before leaving it to the bullpen with a runner on first. Ligtenberg walks the three batters he faces, tying the game at 2. Vinny Chulk comes in and gives up a grand slam to Broussard and it's 6-2 now.

 

This team is going to lose 100 games.

Look on the bright side, they won't lose 120 games like the Tigers almost did.

They're on pace to lose 94 now. They've got growth potential, and 12 of their last 48 games come against the Baltimore Orioles. I peg their chances of 100 losses at 20-25%.

I'm not very optimistic seeing how the team has been playing lately. Granted, it's been mostly against the Yankees and the Indians at the hottest they've been all year. They play a lot better at home, though, so hopefully they can win the Baltimore series and get some momentum going so I don't get any more depressed.

I think the basket is for catching drunks moreso than baseballs, anyway.

They were originally installed to keep fans from throwing their garbage at opposing outfielders. Apparently this was a large epidemic at Wrigley, especially with half-full cups of beer.
