How else is the statement "too much time being spent talking about the Beckham play" supposed to be interpreted?

And you've yet to show how any of us have used this as an excuse for the outcome of the game or suggested that the call being different would have affected the outcome.

I don't care about the "break" thing. I care that it was a bad call. The Rios play was defensive stupidity. I can live with the Cubs being defensively stupid. I can't live with them being penalized by umpire brain farts.

If you can "read into my posts" I think I can do the same. above isnt making excuses?

There are actually a bunch of good articles and blog posts out there about why the Cubs have sucked ass for so long, and most of it really is their own fault.

I remember watching Leon Durham let that ball go past him. U know Buckner was wearing a cubs batting glove under his mitt in that Boston world series game.

How about you read what Rice wrote which started the conversation. You don't even have to read that far into the article for this since it was the first two lines:
Let’s start this with a little disclaimer where I tell you that the Cubs are not a very good team and would probably have lost anyway. It should also be noted that umpire fails can often affect both teams in such a way

But yeah Rice was clearly saying there that Cubs would have won if only Eric Cooper didn't suck.

Yeah I figured that, but I guess I wasn't sure. Sometimes Fox does weird things with their broadcasts.

MLB gameday isn't a terrible option. It gives you replays of big events in the game pretty quickly after it happens and the pitchf/x data gives you a pretty good idea how the pitcher is doing.

They do do some odd things with regional coverage from time to time. It's not entirely out of the realm of possibility that Tazer could get the game, but it's not likely.

Gameday is good, like dabynsky suggested, but if you want to watch the game, there are always streams that are around at gametime. If you can't find one online, just ask here in the game thread and I'm sure someone will have a link for you.

I watched the replay a couple more times after reading the HBT article (also linked in the blog) and then screencapped a few shots. Brett had suggested that DeJesus' hands/feet/whatever came off the bag before Beckham barreled into him, but I played it over and over again and I just didn't see it. DeJesus didn't come off the bag completely until Beckham basically teabagged him.

I don't know if the wgn angle was different than the Comcast angle which I used. Clearly his foot comes off back on and then all out momentum on the collision but by that time he's out
