Re: Dusty VS. Sweet Lou

[Sweet Swinging Billy]

Hey die hard Baseball fans, treat yourself to a classic World Series matchup between the Dodgers and the Yankees. Played Oct.13th 1978. The game is being replayed on the YES Network (on Direct TV Channel 622). Don Sutton versus Ron Guidry. Dusty Baker against Lou Piniella. I can't get over how young both Dusty and Lou look...but I know. It's 1978. Geez, I had just started College. Both Baker and Piniella hit pretty well in this Series. As you know, Lasorda was the manager back then for L.A. but Bob Lemon, the manager of N.Y.? I thought Billy Martin was still the manager in '78-- I guess not. Was 1977 Martin's last season as manager?

The YES Network from time to time during the off season will re-air classic Yankee baseball games, "Yankee Classis". NESN does the same with the Red Sox. Why can't WGN do something like that with the Cubs. I would love to be able to watch some of those classic Cub games from way back when.

It's been a while, but I remember reading that the reason WGN doesn't do this sort of thing is because they don't have the video anylonger. They recorded over all the old games (or something to that effect).

yeah, the 2 times a year that happens is definitely offsetting the better price, better reception, cheaper sports packages, exclusive NFL and MLB content, BTN, etc. :roll:

I've had DirecTV and cable, and bad weather affects my cable connection more often that rain or snow affected my satellite connection.

[Sweet Swinging Billy]

As far as my experiences are concerned, Direct TV is far superior to the Dish Network and local cable.

 

-- As far as WGN not reshowing old broadcasts of Cubs' games...if it's true that they taped over previous broadcasts--- well that's just being stupid. Games from 1969, 1984, 1989, and 1998 lost forever? Now how sad is that? This sounds like a question for Carrie Muskat!!!

...Muskat right? I know it's not Muskat.

Billy was fired mid season and Bob Lemon was hired to take over. This will inevitably be mentioned in the sequel to "THE BRONX IS BURNING!"
