And the announcer actually got the verbiage of the rule correct. " The runner may advance at his own peril"

Well that's just embarrassing.

Castro was benched after the inning. Kudos to Dale Sveum

Thats why the Cardinals are winners and the Cubs are losers.  Plain and simple.

I don't believe I've ever seen an MLB player with so much raw talent who completely sucks as a baseball player as Starlin Castro.

Lazy? Lack of focus? Lack of fundamentals? All of the above? I can't figure him out.

What's the difference between this one and the Atlanta one last year, other than the fact the ss caught the ball rather than pulling away at the last minute. Watch at :08 when the umpire starts his hand up and the ball is caught at :09. Go look at that one in Atlanta where they tried to crucify Holbrook. Just about the same amount of time involved. Not like that hand went up 4 or 5 seconds ahead (yes I know it doesn't have to) of the catch. Let's go, get those comparison's on here. Where's that argument. What, just because it's the Cubs and not a playoff game? Come on let's bare down with some analysis here.

In the Atlanta game the SS had gained control of his body. In this one he had not.

Ehh, he's been really good for a few years (200+ hits) but it just fell out this year. Cubs have a few SS prospects behind him and he has a tradable contact, so I would guess it's next year or bust for Starlin.
