5/28 Dodgers (Lowe) @ Cubs (Z!) 7:05 pm ESPN2/WGN

[SouthSideRyan]

Will Tommy be making a second appearance in the booth for those of us who didn't get to hear him yesterday?

 

Sutcliffe will be singing the stretch. I get the feeling he won't quite fill Lasorda's shoes.

 

You kidding me? He's like the son he never had!

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I have to settle for annoying announcers with HD over disgusting looking WGN feed.

and the damn blackout rules will force me to "enjoy" the game on WGN

WGN has to be the worst looking SD feed on DirecTV

[Electron Blue]

I've always wondered -- and the current direction of this thread makes it the most convenient place to ask -- but, how can I get WGN in HD. I'm way out it nebraska and my cable provider is Time Warner Cable . . . and I just don't entirely understand HD subscriptions.

Do you get anything in HD? You need an HD feed and an HDTV. I have directv, so that requires an upgraded dish and receiver. Most cable outlets just require a newer receiver. The problem is your provider's HD package may not include WGN HD. Directv offers WGN America (fka Superstation WGN), which is different from plain old WGN Channel 9 in Chicago. Although I still don't know how that whole thing works.

My friend just called and informed me that he had an extra ticket for tonight's game. :D

 

Yay!

Enjoy it man, I need to find a way to see the Cubs in wrigley, but I will be seeing them in Milwaukee later in the year

Some good old fun from Dodger Blues during last night's game:

 

if we have supposibly the biggest payroll in the west why the [expletive] cant we get someone that can hit![expletive]! :!:

 

jesus good job dodgers [expletive]

 

 

And I would just like to add that this most recent implosion is on NATIONAL TELEVISION further giving the rest of the baseball world ot to give two flying [expletive] about the Dodgers on a day when Burman was actually praising them early. Way to [expletive] that all up. Man being a Dodger fan is [expletive] [expletive].

 

jesus christ and did anyone see 56 million mother [expletive] dollars on the dl?that much of our money sitting there scartching their balls!

 

oh here comes pierre [expletive] doodle doo its our lucky day

 

Just saw a Nomar commercial with Mia during the Laker game. So glad he has time to be a [expletive] [expletive] on commercials. He prob tripped over some video cable and will be out another 3 [expletive] months that [expletive] brittle prick.

 

how will we [expletive] up this chance?

 

[expletive] this underacheiving team

 

bases loaded...1 out...and we get [expletive]!!!

[expletive] this!!

 

Something must be [expletive] done. Something has to [expletive] change. What the [expletive] is going on in that dugout. Why the [expletive] does Torre just sit on the [expletive] railing not doing [expletive]? [expletive] this team. JUST [expletive].

 

 

Plenty more here.

Piazza filled that role until the gay rumors started swirling

[SABR Gamer]

lol they also whined about our players and said "If anyone was listening to Sutcliff and Berman, how big of a hard-on did it sound like they had for Ramirez and Lee?"

 

response, "they had a bigger one for soto"

[UMFan83]

Surprised that no one posted the lineup. I heard it on ESPN 1000 on the way home

 

Soriano, LF

Theriot, SS

Lee, 1B

Ramirez, 3B

Fukudome, RF

Soto, C

DeRosa, 2B

Johnson, CF

Zambrano, P

 

I honestly wish Zambrano and Johnson switched.

[Rob]

Edmonds sitting against a right hander... that's the beginning of the end for his tenure.

[mhuber92211]

No Jimmy E today huh? So much for the mechanical issues that he alledegly found!

Zambrano, P

Haha. Left-handed batters hit 100 points of OPS better against Lowe, but Fontenot and Edmonds are on the bench.

 

Johnson's career numbers against Lowe probably have zero predictive value according to the research of Tango, Lichtman, and Dolphin.

[CubColtPacer]

Edmonds sitting against a right hander... that's the beginning of the end for his tenure.

 

Yup..and Lowe is one of only 3 right-handers in the next 7. Edmonds will be doing a lot of sitting the bench.

How about he just sit on the coach.

Coach? Which coach do you want him to sit on? Sinatro? Quade? Trammell? Rothschild? Perry?

The Dodgers really do have a well-rounded team. 3-7 their lineup is solid, they have a solid 1-2 in the rotation and a solid pen. Hopefully, though, they don't realize it for the next 10 days.

Edmonds is sitting because of his career numbers against Lowe.

 

5-30

.167/.194/.300

[BigbadB]

Glendon Rusch starting against the Cubs on Saturday.

 

Yay. Edmunds on the bench against a RHP.

[BigSlick]

This is looking like one of those games we should definitely win, which we definitely find a way to lose.

 

Sweep them and completely wipe out the bad taste in my mouth from that road trip.

Watch that be the 1 loss of the homestand.
