insanity in atlanta
10 June 2007
Yesterday, I went to the Cubs/Braves game in Atlanta, the day after Soriano hit 3 home runs. The first pitch of the game, Tim Hudson plunked Soriano, and the umpire warned both benches, without allowing Chicago to retaliate. Tonight, just now, Ted Lilly hit Renteria in the first inning and was ejected. Then Renteria stole second and punched the rookie second-basemen on his slide, with NO RESPONSE from the umpires. I’m really in shock… these umpires are allowing the Braves to do whatever they want, and coming down hard on the Cubs. I don’t understand what’s happening here. All I can do is hope Renteria gets spiked on a slide into second next inning.
