I don't reckon some folks can take a joke.

Take a hint, marquis. I'm tired. I need the day off. Soto's got the offense. Just go the distance today. High Five!

 

 

 

 

 

The boys in blue take on the bad guys in game two. Marquis can do himself (and the team) some serious favors if he can give us 7+ innings and keep his nice little hot streak going. My fear is the wind is blowing out and we'll have a slugfest on our hands. Gotta hope the sinker is working.

 

Go CUBS!!!!

Hopefully June Marquis shows up.

 

Go Cubs!

[C.C.]

Now that's a epic thread starter. I feel real good about this game. Wrigley's going to spread her wings and Ram and Soto are going deep.

The return of the great Jim Edmonds?

Lets all hope for early Season Marquis vs. 2007 Contreres.

Someone wants a slugfest.

Sorry, to be more specific, I meant classic early season Marquis, where hes decent before he becomes useless come mid July.

[Sammy Sofa]

As much as I hate Marquis, he's looked damn good for, what, his last 3 starts? Please keep it up, Jason.

 

Contreras, remember that you're old and very hittable. Thanks.

 

I hope the Cubs score earlier than today, since the White Sox bullpen has usually been much more reliable than that.

[TomAZZ]

Anyone know which station Len and Bob will be on? I need to know which one to DVR. Any help would be appreciated.

[BCVM22]

Cubs get WGN tomorrow, I believe.

Thank God.

Why is it that the Sox announcers got WGN yesterday? Do you really want those two idiots representing Chicago baseball on a national broadcast? Hide them on CSN and put Len & Bob on WGN for all Cubs/Sox games.

You can put it on the board... YESSS!!

 

 

[However, for non-Chicagoans like myself, it was nice yesterday to be able to watch the HD game on CSN with Len and Bob on the PBP.]

For that matter why does White Sox get games on WGN for that matter? Nobody nationally knows who the White Sox are. Nor do they bring in the ratings. The Cubs do very well by themselves on WGN. WGN can drop White Sox games (to which they could feesibly take the would be WS games, and turn them back into more Cub games on WGN), and just do Cubs games only. Let Comcast or whoever pick up White Sox. Seeing as the target audience for White Sox games, are in Chicago.
