9/25 Cubs (Lilly) @ Marlins (Willis) 6:05 PM CDT WCIU/720

[Soul]

Damn. Hit it well.

[UMFan83]

UNNECESSARY SLIDE ALERT!

[Roast]

Yeah, that slide was pretty unnecessary.

[weatherdood]

Where was Santo this weekend?

[Sosa21MVP]

MLBTV has a free 5 day trial but I'm in the Cubs blackout zone. Does that mean this game will be blacked out? I live in NE Indiana.

 

How do you access the trial?

 

Go like you are going to sign up normally. You have to give your credit card number first and they charge it if you don't email them to cancel it within 5 days.

 

Anyways I guess I have nothing to lose so here I go.

 

That's kinda stupid. If they are doing a risk-free, then it should be free for 5 days, without needing the stupid credit card thing.

 

MLB is idiots.

 

I agree. And the game is blacked out anyways. Here comes my cancellation email. :roll:

[Roast]

Where was Santo this weekend?

 

Sick.

[Coach C]

Sounds like he took a page from the Unecessary Sliding School of Jim Edmounds.

Dontrelle is throwing a lot of balls. If we can be patient and draw some walks, we should have no problem getting to him.

 

The key word is "if".

[Soul]

Where was Santo this weekend?

 

Sleeping. He was sick as I understand it.

 

1-2-3 for Dontrelle.

[UMFan83]

Well a depressing first 2 innings. So much for our ability to hit lefties (so far)

[erik316wttn]

Geovany Soto?

[Flames24Rulz]

Who else thought Willis would rebound with a good outing tonight?

[E.J.]

[weatherdood]

Ugh

[Guest]

Dontrelle has started every batter except for DLee off with a ball so far.

 

30 pitches for Dontrelle through 2, he threw 19 in the 2nd inning.

Thanks everyone! Glad he's ok!

[E.J.]

Who else thought Willis would rebound with a good outing tonight?

 

:wave:

[Lockes Eye Scar]

omg, those bastards are showing replays from the NLCS

[CubmanPi]

Who else thought Willis would rebound with a good outing tonight?

His WHIP was above 1.6 coming into the game, with an ERA closer to 6 than to 5. Color me not shocked in the slightest that he is perfect thru two.

[VanceJergins]

It sounds like they're playing highlights of the 03 series and the Cubs fans are booing loudly.

[Roast]

omg, those bastards are showing replays from the NLCS

 

A-holes...

 

Good thing i have WCIU. I'd get really frustrated otherwise.

[justin23iu]

I believe they just played Derrek Lee's double in game 6 of the 2003 NLCS on the Marlins video board. The whole stadium booed.

[SouthSideRyan]

It doesn't affect me cause I'm in Chicago, but it's ridiculous that you can't choose your broadcast for mlbtv.

[erik316wttn]

Come on, guys, you know how to hit lefties. This is the fourth one in a row you've faced.

 

When was the last time the Cubs faced 4 lefties in a row?

 

O/T, but where has Fred been lately?

[CubmanPi]

omg, those bastards are showing replays from the NLCS

That's really the only aspect of this game that could possibly have any appeal to a potential TV audience. There are hundreds of people in south Florida who are being mildly amused by those replays. Let them have their fun.
