3/12 ST: Cubs (Maddux) @ Brewers (Capuano) 2:05 PM WGN-Radio

[Soul]

Murton doubles, 3-0 Cubs.

[Jon]

Murton plays pepper with the wall in opposite field for an RBI double!

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

opposite field power!

[Vinestal]

at least the game is on XM so I can listen to it. Im still disgruntled about the blackout crap.

 

Well, I've got the game on DirecTV.... so I guess that means I'm gruntled, eh?

 

Unfortunately for me, EI doesn't begin until Opening Day and I don't have the sports package.

 

Cheer up, man..... you've always got Pat & Ron !! :wink:

 

Yeah thank God for XM today. I like Pat and Ron but I have a hard time following radio sometimes I get distracted and miss things and then have no idea whats going on. I wonder how XM will sync with the extra innings TV, it would be nice to be able to turn down the audio and listen to the game on XM.

 

Woot double by Murton, sweet. Thought it might be gone at first.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Murton hits one off the wall. Mabry scores off the double by Murton.

 

3-0 Cubs!

I love the opposite field power from Murton.

Yes, that was a high pitch too. Took it the other way with authority.

yeah same here Vance I cant even order it until the last week in March

 

Mine renews automatically because I've had it for a long time. I could order the sports package to watch the game, but it doesn't get you the games once the season starts.

 

Well I have the sports package and I get all those alternate channels and CSNchicago but they still black those games out to me even during spring training. If I had broadband internet Id have the MLBtv but I only have dial-up, I cant get dsl or cable here.

I love the opposite field power from Murton.

Ohka left the FB up & Murton took advantage. Also on the Aram HR, Ohka hung a pitch right down the middle. Aram will kill that pitch everytime.

[JWCUB]

Shut em down Mad Dog.

[Soul]

Maddux makes Clark look silly (not all that easy to do). 1 out.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

K for Maddux

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

wow, Brewers announcers showing the Cubs a lot of love

[stitchface]

Yes, that was a high pitch too. Took it the other way with authority.

 

If he maintains that approach, I think he will be highly successful and possibly develop a little more power.

ARam looks like he's playing slowpitch softball when he hits those hangers out. Man, I wish the game was on!

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

1-2-3 for Maddux

Maddux sounded as if he looked good that inning. Did his approach on TV indicate the same?
