    Matsui has been a joke for most of the season offensively.

    Now the ump is calling borderline pitches strikes for the Cubs.

    Well, that pitch seemed worse than the one that got Hawk ejected.

    Wrigley Field + P.O.'d ump = a bad combination

    I was thinking the same thing. The strike zone seemed to expand between the bottom of the 8th and the top of the 9th.

    Judging by that Bradley at-bat, it was only a temporary expansion :rolleyes:

    This game is over...
    Val is going to give up a run.

    I'd venture to guess that Valverde is an average to below average pitcher in these types of situations (non-save, tie game, runners on base).

    Mixed bag on that one...Soriano gone is good but now almost assured to see Lee up with a chance to win it!

    The Cubs are at the bottom of their order.

    If Lee comes up this inning, they have already won the game.

    Valverde is seemingly pitching worse the more pressureized the situation.

    I would shudder to see this guy in the playoffs.

    I'd love to see these pitches. Gameday showed two of those called balls as being in the strike zone.
