7/12 - Giants (Corriea) @ Cubs (Harden) 12:05, CSN TV

[Little Slide Rooter]

Remember how awesome/enjoyable it was to watch pitching when Prior and Wood were dealing in 03 and we would count up K's and crap?

 

We get to do that again today. Sweet.

 

Comparing him to Pior and Wood is asking for bad news.

[Mizzou]

Are there any not-so-legal ways to watch this game over the internet for those of us who are outside of Chicago?

[Roast]

My best friend picked a terrible day to have a graduation party. Not only do I skip work for it (which, i'm actually not to upset about seeing as i'm exhausted) but now I can't watch harden's first game. I think I'm ending our friendship today.

[FergieJ31]

Only 1 team in baseball w/a winning pct > 0.600 =D> Keep it up today Cubs!

[BigbadB]

ESPN is showing that the Cub game is showing on FOX, but I just looked at the schedule for FOX today, but there is nothing listed for that time slot but Saturday morning cartoons.

 

I'll be pissed if this game isn't on FOX today.

[Derwood]

no Extra Innings for anyone. Viva la Blackout

no Extra Innings for anyone. Viva la Blackout

 

Check out ESPN's schedule page. They show FOX hosting a double headers worth of games. Maybe the change happened too late for my local cable company to get it into their schedule?

 

And yeah, once again, MLB EI won't be showing any games today until late.

Yea this is a CSN game, Fox is not showing this game, which sucks for all you out of towners.

The game was originally going to be on FOX when it was a 3:05 game or whatever it was. It's on CSN and definitely won't be on FOX today.

My best friend picked a terrible day to have a graduation party. Not only do I skip work for it (which, i'm actually not to upset about seeing as i'm exhausted) but now I can't watch harden's first game. I think I'm ending our friendship today.

 

My wife is being a bitch right now and is dragging me all over creation for stupid bullcrap that can easily wait, even after I told her I wanted to be home by noon. Obviously she has no appreciation for today's game.

 

I love that woman dearly, but sometimes......

It's times like this that makes me wish MLB.tv had a "Pay Per View" option. Something like $2.99 to watch a game or something. That way, if something like a major debut for a top player comes up and you want to watch the game, you have that option without buying the whole package.

 

So if anyone won't be using their MLB.tv account tomorrow and wants to let me use it for a day, let me know ;)

PM me for my info if you want - I'm in the CSN area so I'm watching on TV anyway.

Are there any not-so-legal ways to watch this game over the internet for those of us who are outside of Chicago?

 

Check around some p2p sites. I've never had to do it, but I know there's some stuff out there.

My girlfriend is condo hunting today and is forcing me to go with her but I already told her at noon I am going to watch at least a few innings of the game.

I define "a few" as anything between 2 and 9.

Yeah, I wish I could find a bar that would carry CSN in the KC area, but that's like finding a needle in a haystack.

The Cubs would need to go 29-40 just to hit their win total of 85 from last season.

Still no line ups?

Nothing yet. Could be any second, or possibly another 20-25 minutes.

I looked up Yahoo and Cubs.com but nothing that I could find....

ESPN has the Yankees game line ups, but not the Cubs yet.
