Weird news...Cubs pitcher goes into the record books...4 strikeouts in an inning.

[HereSince1628]

Seems to me the catcher that drops the ball and allows the batter to reach should get honorable mention in that award.

1. Been done lots of times.

One of the Brewers' pitchers did it this summer, Yovani, IIRC.

2. Yes, I know...I just think the CATCHER WHO DROPS THE FREAK'N BALL ought to get some credit

so to speak. If you know what I mean about too much Neat's Foot Oil in that catchers' mitts.

3. It's that damn Phil Neikro and the other knuckleballers fault. Yeah, that's it.

4. Me? I think the catchers have paid off the score-keepers.

It's a freak'n conspiracy to blame everything on the pitchers!

5. Get real. Ball's in the dirt, that's a wild pitch, not a passed ball.

Just like when the shortstop one-hops one to first. If the first baseman misses it, it's E6.

6. Hey, you are most definitely are messing with my tin-foil hat!
