Ram is playing.
On another note....
I'm starting to think these umps throughout the league must have it in for the Cubs. It seems like every game now they blow a totally obvious call and it ends up not falling by the wayside, but costing the Cubs: tonight for one run so far.
There is either one of two possible reasons for this league wide practice by the officials....
A conspiracy to kill poor Ronnie (does the radio call). Tonight he had to leave the booth and throw a rant because he was so furious. Pat Hughes, the other in the booth, actually asked him if he was alright. For those that don't know, Ron has had both of his legs amputated cause of diabetes and I think he also has some form of cancer. He is an ex-Cub 3rd basemen that lives and dies on local radio here during the games.
reason #2
The whole season of ripping into the umps by Alou, Sosa, Patterson, and the whole pitching staff is coming back to haunt the Cubs now. I'm starting to think it is really in the back of the minds of these old farts when they are in the process of making their calls somehow.
