I'm so damn pumped to see the cubs on TV. Hopefully I have my homework i need to get done, done by 2pm. Because God knows i'm not picking up a pen again until after this game ends.

Of course, the Cubs are sending two former White Sox pitchers and a Ozzie Guillen's best friend Rich Hill out there.

 

Yeah but Lou claims he didn't realize Rich was on the mound during the Barrett/AJ game. I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't know the ties with the other guys either.

 

Garland, Aardsma, and Sisco seems like a no brainer slap in the face to me. Or, possibly, he views it as flaunting what we gave up... I know it's constantly mentioned here that the Cubs were dumb to trade Garland... There's no way I could root for any one player over the Cubs.

 

Edit; In fact Lou said today that had he known/remembered about Rich pitching in that game last year he would have scheduled another pitcher.

 

I agree. Ozzie and the whole Org. are classless idiots...

Today will be my son's first Cubs game! Of course he'll probably sleep through about half of it, but still...:D

Probably one of the first quotes from Lou that I really don't like.

 

"I'm looking forward to seeing Ozzie [Guillen, White Sox manager]," Piniella said. "He'll amuse me for a little bit. I like Ozzie. He's a good baseball man, a good manager. He's also entertaining."

 

Entertaining? More like annoying.

Am I the only one that reads a little grinning condescension into that statement? Or do I just have wishful thinking?

 

Yeah the first time I read it I thought Lou was saying Ozzie is like on of those little celebrity dogs. They are cute for a little while but then they just turn annoying. IMO adding the, "He's also entertaining" is a back handed slap with an opps sorry I didnt know you were standing there fake appology.

Won't be watching this, please give quality details for those who are.

 

I'll be listening to Pat and Ron though.

Finally, first Cubs game for me to see on TV. Sure would be nice if WGN and the Cubs were showing at least more than 75% of their games (including spring training).

Thats what I was thinking. Like calling someone "unique" or "different".

Anyone know if they're broadcasting this in HD? I highly doubt it, but it'd be nice.

 

Nope. I just checked my program guide.

 

Damn. Thanks.

Murton in the 2 hole against a righty....I LOVE IT! I just hope when Floyd gets healthy it stays that way, but so far I cant complain much about Lous lineups(minus Izturis batting 2nd the other day) but I dont think that is goin to happen often. LETS PLAY BALL!
