One of the worst ball calls I've ever seen. Gamecast on every site had it as a clear strike, not even debatable.

It was borderline on the Comcast Chicago replay. From the side view it was over the belt by a few inches.

Nope. Easily a strike. Even the Cubs fans calling me right now are admitting it was.

I thought it might have been a little high and inside but in that situation it has to be called a strike. Can't end a game on a pitch that close IMO.

Edit: High and inside of course not outside

Yeah it was up around the belt. Borderline pitch. It could have went either way, but it's usually a strike when the game is on the line like that.

We're undefeated this month! 3-0!

The last pitch could have gone either way. If it were called a strike I probably would have been pissed.

David Kaplan - "I've heard from numerous sources that Soriano will begin to bat 6th in the lineup"


Thank the Lord.

I guess Kaplan said Fuld was leading off tomorrow. Can't complain about that.

This thread is homerrific about that last call. I'm not sure about it. Might have been a bit high. Can someone get me a gamezone call of it? Anyways a win is a win and we can't reject it.

Sportcenter's K zone showed that it definitely looked like a strike.

I missed the first part of the game and just saw the highlights and it looked like Zambrano's bases loaded walk should have also been a strike.
