7/27 Cubs (Hill) @ Reds (Arroyo) 6:10pm CT, CSN+, XM 188

[dew1679666265]

Yeah, just got back from playing golf, ended up playing with one of the assistant coaches (mike something) at Xavier, who apparently lives next door to Adam Dunn in the summer.

 

Let me guess, Dunn expects to be traded to the Cubs any minute now? :D

[ter]

I just remembered I'm not going to get to watch the game even though I have the Extra Innings package because, inexplicably, the freaking CINCINNATI Reds are my local team when I live halfway between Knoxville and Chattanooga, TENNESSEE. :evil:

 

Oh, how I hate MLB, DirecTV and anybody else involved in these stupid local area listings.

 

I also have Directv and I also have been told that Cincinnati is my "local" team even though I live in North Carolina.

 

Atlanta is a lot closer to my locale than Cincinnati but I guess the powers that be don't want to blackout a team that has a superstation. I called Directv about this and they say blackout rules are determined by MLB.

[sweetpeteman]

nah, we really didn't talk much baseball, he doesn't follow it much, just said that Dunn was a good guy and what not.

[MPrior]

Boo rain delays!

The Braves are actually a local team of mine too, which is not an issue because I get TBS. The Cincinnati thing makes no sense whatsoever, though.

Oh well, it was worth a try. 8-)

[JGalt73]

Any chance Ramirez is held out due to the wet field?

[TysonCBulls423]

Sullivan is on with Len and Bob right now :lol:

[inari]

So uh, the Cubs are interested in Mahay?

[Banedon]

What is CSN+? I have comcast but I can't find the damn thing...

 

For us they put CSN+ over the local channel that they show university news and such on. Check those kind of channels for it.

[Shilzzz]

the Reds broadcast is giving a tour of the traveling negro leagues museum and they keep calling it the negro museum

 

brenneman? (sp)

 

 

didn't he get in a bunch of trouble earlier this year for comparing watching the reds play to the trail of tears or something?

no, it wasnt him, it was the guys doing the pregame...and i dont know anything about him getting in trouble

 

yeah, he got suspended two games, iirc, for that comparison.

 

...

[TysonCBulls423]

Through my cable provider (Comcast) CLTV becomes CSN+.

[Schwarber Fan]

will we be receiving a weather update soon?

[NCCubFan]

Any chance Ramirez is held out due to the wet field?

I would think that's likely, and I'd also expect them to keep Floyd out as well. Maybe Murton will start his first game back after all.

[Schwarber Fan]

Branson Oreo? wtf

[Bote McBoteface]

Any weather updates? The site I get weather from says that the rain ended at 7:24, and the radar shows that the cell from earlier is almost completely out of the area. Game SHOULD be able to start soon.
