9/1 Cubs (Car) vs. Astros (General) 12:05 CT CSN

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ramirez lined out to left field

[UMFan83]

Ugh I thought that was a double off the bat.

[ninetynineplus]

i am listening to the game on gameday b/c it is blacked out.. cubs.com shows that the game is only on csn.. why would it be blacked out?

 

Cause of Fox's stupid Saturday baseball rules. Every game is blacked out until 7(I think) local time.

I thought if they started before a certain time you were ok too?

 

You're kidding me right?? they black out every game on saturdays?? even the ones they're not producing?

[BigbadB]

people, it's the top of the 3rd, the final won't be 1-0.

no the astros will hit a few more homers.

I miss premium.

 

Also, not to say who will get how many runs, but the final score will most certainly prove that it will take at least 3 runs to win this game.

Then get a real job. Earn some money.

That's uncalled for. Watch it.

But him saying his misses premium to ignore people he disagrees with isn't?

 

Insulting someone who can't afford premium doesn't even closely resemble someone wanting to ignore posts where people give up on a baseball game in the 2nd inning.

Monroe grounded out to the catcher, 2-3

[Keener98]

Wow Monroe with the tape measure shot wow. Ok maybe it was a ruler and not a tape measure

No. The East coast 7pm games and the west coast 7pm games are all available on MLB EI today.

[Brian]

Sure sign that it's September - Cubbie domination by a rookie southpaw.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Scott flied out to right center field

[Fred Hornkohl]

Wigginton singled to left field

[Mizzou]

This is really bothering me right now for some reason. Aside from a situation where the opposing starter is someone that Monroe has just destroyed, can anyone give me a logical explanation for why he would ever start in place of Murton?

Monroe is a veteran who has been there, its the same reason they got Trachsel. Its Sept, and they act like these kids are suddenly going to forget how to play baseball. Murtons .920 OPS for August would look too good in our lineup today anyway.

What do you mean?!? Cubs have been very good about not letting pitchers do the damage...

[PossumBoy9]

Michigan FG.
