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

[ninetynineplus]

Just got back from Chapter. Lots of Cardinal fans saying Cubs will get swept. I just laughed at them. Anyways, they need to get this game started, I still have a 3 page paper to write. Probably won't get done until about 2 this morning.

A sign they showed on TBS: "THE CURSE OF THE GOAT IS ALIVE AND WELL."

Signed.

No HD feed for me here either. I just hope the radio and TV are somewhat in sync because I can't imagine listening to these TBS announcers. Give me Pat and Ron!

[kente777]

Watching this game on TBS is going to be hard. Not only is there not a HD reception on my service for TBS, but the color man for the Cubs game just tried to argue that the Diamondbacks starting rotation is deeper than the Cubs in talent...right.

 

Yeah, I caught that too. I wish there wasn't a lag with WGN Radio....I'd just turn my TV volume down and listen to Pat & Ron

I just want to hear Pat say "Cubs playoff baseball is ON THE AIR".

 

Goosebumps.

Booo on Jacque batting 2

Better than Riot. Not ideal, but I don't mind.

 

At least the riot can put together some competent at bats every once in a while.

 

Jacque Jones at bat embarrasses me to be a Cubs fan.

 

And yet, somehow, when Theriot came up to the plate, he was slightly more likely to make an out.

 

Not arguing that fact, but I still have yet to figure out why.

 

Easy. As many horrible swings as Jacque takes, he has the ability to make the pitcher pay for mistake pitches. Theriot doesn't have a very good approach at the plate either for somebody of his type (he doesn't see very many pitches per at bat and puts the first 3 pitches into play more than any other Cub).

When you combine that with it being much harder for Theriot to take advantage of pitcher's mistakes, it means that even when Theriot drives the ball it turns into a lot of easy flyball outs.

I agree. If Web misses up and away with a sinker/split JJ will nail it. The Cubs have to get to him early, because they won't get to him late.

The Bayou Boys, Theriot and Fontenot, LSU college World Series championship teammates , inspired by their #1 ranked Alma Mater, will break the curse!
