NLDS: Gm 1 Cubs (Z!) @ DBacks (Webb), 9:07pm, TBS, WGN Radio

[Moonlight Graham]

Come on Z we need you tonight!

[Thurman Merman]

Z better have his ace stuff tonight, because I don't see us scoring more than 2 off of Webb.

 

If Z can keep us in the game, we have a good chance. If he sucks, then tomorrow is a must win.

Didn't Z almost throw a no-no in Arizona a few years ago? I seem to remember that. Anyone have his career stats there?

 

I have nothing to back this up other than my sincerest hope, but I think he'll do fine tonight. But we will need 3-4 runs to get it done.

 

Wasn't that in 2003?

 

i know he almost threw a no hitter against colorado in 2004.

 

It was this game...Against Schilling

That was the game that the only hit he gave up in 8.2 innings was really an out, he possibly could have had the no-no he deserved if that call was made.

 

I was at that game. Shea Hillenbrand should have been out and been the last out of the 8th inning. Z then got the last 3 batters out, preserving what should have been a no hitter.

 

Check out how many pitches he threw... we could sure use some of that

C'MON CUBBIES!!!!!

I hate my life. I got out of math WAY early today (at 2:00!!!) because we had a quiz, and after the quiz we were allowed to leave. I'm supposed to be there till 3:20. Now I'm just going to sit around and be anxious as hell for the next six and a half hours. God.

 

 

Maybe i'll clean my dorm...it really needs it...

93; 62 of them for strikes.

 

 

Hey Z...wanna do that again?

There's playoff baseball on all day and you're complaining. Some of us can't watch it all day.(40 minute commute only, Flat Screen in the office FTW again!)

[CuseCubFan69]

I think TV has to be pretty happy with the 4 games. You have 3 big market teams and 2 of the hottest playing each other. The playoff game Monday really spiked interest in the Phillies/Rockies imo along with the great Phillie comeback to win the division.

I count four, unless Anaheim doesn't count.

 

I agree though - game 163 definitely increased my interest in that series, and the field of teams looks like it could make to be a great october.

 

I just don't see them having the TV pull as NY, Boston and Chicago do. If it were the Dodgers, maybe, I might be wrong though.

 

It was a heck of a lead in no doubt about that.

 

You certainly are wrong - maybe outside of Southern California but in LA, the Angels are really popular. Moreno has done a great job (plus the Angels being much better than the Dodgers this decade) and the Angels have nearly as big a fanbase in the LA area as the Dodgers. The Angels definitely are a big market team and have successfully tapped into Los Angeles, the Inland Empire (2.5 million residents) and obviously Orange County (2 million residents).

 

No national appeal though. That's what I consider a big market.

Lets say the Angels/Red Sox game is a long one and possibly overlaps the Cubs/D'backs game. Does TBS switch to the Cubs for those in the regional market?

I know in case of overlaps the start of the new game starts on TNT then shifts to TBS when the old game ends. Not sure if it's different locally.

*rolls eyes*...and they just couldn't have used TNT to broadcast games as well?

I forgot there was an early game today!

 

Sweet. Thanks folks! (I wasn't planning on starting to watch until 6 when the Sox game starts, cause my roommate is a redsox fan)

T-minus 6 hours!

I was actually thinking about this the other day. I've been thinking about just cutting it down to "Roast" since that's what everyone refers to me as anyway. Although, CubManPi's suggestion is pretty awesome.

because people would flip between TBS and TNT whenever one game or the other went to commercial, which advertisers hate
