8/18 Cardinals (Reyes) @ Cubs (Marshall) 2:55 FOX

(God) Steve Stone said on 670 that he's going to be doing the next 2 games on the radio... He said "rival network" and I dont know if he meant 720 or 1000. He said he was going to to do them with Dan Schulman...

If he's partnering with Schulman for the broadcast then it's definitely an ESPN Radio job.

Almost too bad, because the Cubs radio booth in the 2003 NLCS was Pat Hughes/Steve Stone for a few games, and that was one heck of a broadcast team.

i want a sweep! I don't see it happening but my lucky penny thinks otherwise as of now. I've never seen a penny this old before in my life. The night the cubs lost 11-9 to the reds as i'm leaving my friends house i pick up a penny. It's heads up so I keep it in my pocket. I nearly throw it out of my pocket the next day when I see the reds tied it 4-4 after we scored 4 in the 1st and they put um right back up. Following the 12-4 win over the reds i looked at this penny that I picked up. Now I'm usually not one for superstitions but if anyone would keep a heads up penny it'd be this one just based on the year.

1945 is the year on the penny never in my life have I seen a penny before 1960 how I managed to come across this.... I dk.

Go Cubs.

To add to it, 1945 was the last year the Cubs appeared in the World Series.

Radar showing a huge, hugly system bearing down on Chicago that'll probably with within a couple hours...it might end up helping that they don't start until 3. though the weather report between now and Tuesday seems like on and off rain. Blech.

Greetings one and all from beautiful, sunny Tucumcari, NM !!!

Weren't you just in Atlanta yesterday? You're making some good time to get to Tucumcari in one day.

Andy · August 18, 2007

Wild card correction, Fred...as of today, the Cubs aren't eligible for it. :D

swordsman · August 18, 2007

hmmmm...the last two games I have not watched or listened and only followed tha game here.

Now it is Saturday and I have the option of watching listening but not of following things here.

hmmmmmmmm...what to do.

CubFanPhilly · August 18, 2007

I think it's going to be a long one today.

My guess is rain from about 1:40 to 2:40. Game will start around 3:20. With another 45 min. delay around the 3rd inning.

But it's just a guess...

never watch a Cubs game the rest of the season. If you watch today and Cubs lose, you better not watch the postseason!

gflore34 · August 18, 2007

I don't know the source of CBS' line but, how in the Sam Hill are the Cubs underdogs today vs. the Cardinals?

Neither of them are announcing this game today, so no worries there.

FeArThEbEaRd · August 18, 2007

ahhhh thank you very much

Soul · August 18, 2007

Gotta have it baby. Gotta have it.

Gots tuh have it.

Alfonso Soriano · August 18, 2007

This is a big game.

A win means we have the series at least tied and we still have Z and Lilly pitching in the next 2 games

C.C. · August 18, 2007

Huge game. I like being in 1st. Let's keep it that way. Gotta stomp on the Cards...

8/18 Cardinals (Reyes) @ Cubs (Marshall) 2:55 FOX
