LOL..I almost posted the same thing a few minutes ago, and decided against it..glad to see other minds are thinking the same way. BTW, the Cubs web site says this is on WGN, but my television guide has the White Sox game on tonight, not the Cubs-so we might have been pre-empted.

According to Direct TV, the Cubs are on at 6:05 Central (It is an east coast game) on CSNC.

Dusty must be taking a night off. Soto starting tonight.

Greetings one and all from beautiful Sayre, OK !!

 

Worthless stats of the day for Friday............

 

Go CUBS !!

 

I used to live in Oklahoma, and I know exactly where Fred is! In Sayre, just about anything would be wortheless on a Friday. :lol:

 

Meh. On the TV thing, if it isn't on WGN, the Atlanta site shows it's on Turner South. So if your cable system has WTBS, they might have the game. Except that you would have to listen to Chip...... :P :wink:

Thanks for the info! I knew there was some benefit to where I'm living right now (if you call it a benefit :D ). BTW, I like this lineup a great deal.

[sweetpeteman]

Cubs.com has WGN

 

Thats great, so does the White Sox site...

[UMFan83]

2 more days until the first sporting event I've cared about since Game 6 of the Bulls-Heat series....just thought I'd share that in here.

Is there any town that you just don't like in this country Fred?

[sweetpeteman]

and hey, look, its on CSNC.

[otis89]

Stupid lying Cubs.com!!

[UMFan83]

Stupid lying Cubs.com!!

 

Your shocked that something affiliated with the Cubs is lying to you?

[CubColtPacer]

I'll be providing updates abut what Turner South is saying throughout the ballgame if interesting things come up-first one is a 2 minute montage on how amazing Juan Pierre is-should be an interesting game, that's for sure.

[CubColtPacer]

"Aramis Ramirez has had a quiet outstanding campaign, including a Gold Glove defensive year"

[CubColtPacer]

Apparently Guzman's hand cramped up so badly last start that he couldn't even bend his fingers.

[CubColtPacer]

Guzman falls behind Giles 3-1, then delivers a fastball right down the middle-HR left-center, 1-0 Braves.

[YearofDaCubs]

2 called strike Ks in a row with 3 pitches? Curve?

[CubColtPacer]

Wow..after the HR

Renteria looks at 3 strikes in a row

LaRoche grounds out on the first pitch

A. Jones looks at 3 straight strikes

 

Guzman is getting both his fastball and his breaking pitch over-if he can continue doing that, he could have a very good outing.

[UMFan83]

Think Hendry can buy low and get Giles in the offseason? His numbers aren't great, but a lot can be attributed to his BABIP from what I read.

[CubColtPacer]

2 called strike Ks in a row with 3 pitches? Curve?

 

Yeah, both strike 3's were beautiful curves on the inside corner..both Braves looked at the ump for a second, but didn't have that much of an argument.

[CubColtPacer]

Jones looked at 2 or more close pitches in that 4 pitch walk-good work Jones.

[CubColtPacer]

Jones steals second without a throw

 

another report from the announcer "Murton is a gamer who can run a little bit"
