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

[SouthSideRyan]

10pm EDT for both games is SO STUPID. Why are you catering to the west coast viewers you frigging idiots? More people will watch the Cubs and Red Sox than any other teams. THOSE games need to be in prime time. TBS IS FULL OF FAIL

 

Any other series would be starting locally at 10:00. I don't understand what you're looking for them to do. The Red Sox and Cubs are in the 2 primetime slots.

[SouthSideRyan]

Dick Stockton blows.

[chuckywang]

Oh, and if it were up to me, in that lineup, I would've swapped CPatt and Walker, FWIW.

 

And Lee and Nomar.

[killthegoat06]

So how long into coverage/broadcast on TBS will they mention the following:

-$300 million

-Z's fight with Barrett

-Lou's ejection

 

Within the first 2 innings of game 1 is my bet.

 

$300 million will come in the first 5 seconds of the broadcast. The others will follow Bartman and the Goat.

 

Get ready to see goats running across your screen at every break in the action. You know the networks will do everything they can to play up the curse.

 

Stupid network idiots.

 

Cubs media pisses me off

Regarding TBS in HD for Comcast subscribers, things are not looking good:

Comcast will add TBS HD to their line-up in Boston Tuesday, a day before Major League Baseball's playoffs start, but Chicago isn't getting the same treatment according to reader Daniel.

 

I can't stand Comcast. Horrible company. If they don't add TBS HD before the Cubs game on Wednesday I'm going to be pretty unhappy.

 

Yeah comcast sucks. I've had them for two years and the only reason I don't switch is that there's no other cable company in my area. I should be thinking about DirecTV

[killthegoat06]

9:00 start time is awesome for me. It gives me plenty of time to get to Columbia Thursday after work.

 

Terrible for me. I like my sleep.

And Lee and Nomar.

 

Not at that point. 2005 Lee, for sure.

I love this schedule. I don't start classes til noon and I'm not done til 6, so it caters to my schedule perfectly. Plus the game illini/wisky game will be over by game time Saturday

Thank God we have such a phenom in Prior. I think he can go 110-120 pitches EASY if we need him to. RIDE THAT HORSE!!!

[soccer10k]

Good news about the scheduling. I have a 4:00 soccer game to cover on Wednesday so I'll be back well before the 7:00 start time. Thursday's I probably would have been screwed either way. I just pray we get TBS at work. I might end up missing the end of that game as I'll be heading to the airport to go to Chicago.

Did I stumble upon an old thread? :?

T-minus 45 hours until the first pitch.

all markets except trenton? Sweet! I've been trying to find out if Denver's going to get a little HD for the games.

 

BTW, our power went out in the 3rd inning of tonight's Rocks - Pads game. What a bummer. Thankfully I had a volleyball game where we played horribly.

You're lucky. Seven hours of foreign language class each of the next two days actually had me rooting for day games to keep me occupied during the afternoons. Wednesday night feels a week away.

Eww, that sucks.

 

Tues:

Oral Expression: 9am - 11:50am

Intro To Journalism: 12:30pm - 3:20pm

 

Wednesday:

New Millennium Studies: 10:30am - 11:50am

College Mathematics: 12:30pm - 3:20pm

 

 

Wednesday is going to be pure hell. NMS is the most worthless class on the entire planet. It has absolutely no purpose. And I really do mean that. And college mathematics...3 hours of math that I did my freshman year in high school.

[Brian]

Tuesday: class from 11 - 3:15

 

Wednesday: NO CLASS

 

 

tomorrow will suck... I have a feeling Wednesday from me waking up till 9 will be excruciating too.

Yuck. a 4 hour 15 minute class?

 

Please tell me there are two classes there or something. Cause that would be horrid otherwise.

[Brian]

yeah 3 classes, 1hr 15 minutes each
