6/16 HOF Game Cubs(?) vs. Padres(?) 1pm CT, WGN

[Jon]

Matt Murton still wont be called up.

Murton is attending the funeral of his grandmother. Besides that, it wouldn't make that much sense to have anyone from Iowa join the team in Cooperstown for this game. Iowa played a DH yesterday and they're playing a DH today. They would have been giving up more ABs just to play half a game or so in Cooperstown. In addition, I'm sure travel in and out of Iowa isn't that great right now considering the flooding in Des Moines.

I'm pretty sure the original post is green font-like.

you are correct in your assumption

[A New Era]

I like how a whole bunch of minor leaguers are playing a hall of fame game.

[CubsGM]

Has the starter been announced yet?

[mopapa]

I know this game doesn't count and most of us (myself included) have some sort of problem with it, but is anyone going to be able to do a game report on this board? I'm mostly just curious to see who plays and for how long.

[CubsGM]

Game canceled?

[otis89]

What the heck? No game?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Why is Matlock on?

[CubsGM]

When the news ended the lady was saying "NO CUBS GAME, NO CUBS GAME"

[salukifudd]

Why is Matlock on?

 

Or Maury for that matter?

[Flames24Rulz]

I'm not too upset about this.

Rain delay.

[UMFan83]

LOL! So after getting up, flying to Albany, taking a 90 minute bus ride, there's no game?

[salukifudd]

Technical difficulties.

[CubsGM]

Rain delay.

Oh fantastic!

Now our players will get into Tampa later!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Rain delay.

 

I bet that's really bothering the Cubs who want to hurry and get to Tampa. Any chance the regulars go ahead to Tampa and the minor leaguers play the whole game?

[CubsGM]

Technical difficulties.

WGN is the Sox

But...but...they have the best programming ever!

 

Or so they want you to think. :roll:

This Maury episode sounds a lot like the Cubs game last night. BEEEEEPPPPPP

[Cubbies2238]

So if they actually play this game are they going to show it or are Len and Bob just calling it a day?

[CubsGM]

We can imagine whats happening.

Aramis just broke his leg

Lee just broke his wrist

Fukudome got lost in the cornfields.

[CubsGM]

Rain Delay. Can we just call this game off or will Kristian and his crazy supporters plan a revolt?
