8/4 Astros(Moehler) @ Cubs(Demp) - 6:05 WCIU/ESPN

[bcl412]

The fans are having tons of fun.

 

After what it sounds like everyone went through they are probably celebrating being alive and this game just turned into a party.

I've always kind of wanted to be at one of these games. Almost was two years ago this week but it got rained out.

I know Marquis is a fine 5th starter, but is there any doubt Gaudin would be better?

That and everyone who stayed drank themselves into oblivion.

[brinoch]

I see Laz forgot his strike zone.

 

This ump is an inconsistent tool.

[ChiCubsfan0502]

Unreal crowd!! It's as loud as if there were still 41 thousand there. We are winning this game!

[Andy]

Ball 3 was a strike when Moehler was out there.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Wigginton walked

 

I'm surprised you're still awake. :D

[rynefan]

Empty seats and Wrigley? What? ha ha

[E.J.]

I see WCIU didn't take the 2 hour break to fix their audio.

[Handlebar McSkullet]

did we fleece billy beane? because gaudin is awesome.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Ok, Cubs. Let's get some runs.

[chuckywang]

There's still thunder and lightning here in Des Plaines.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Starting to rain again according to Len...

[killthegoat06]

It's raining again.

[CubsBears29]

Very weakly raining again there.

 

Let's get 3 runs real quick and call it!! :lol:

[Soul]

I've always kind of wanted to be at one of these games.

 

Me too. None of these fans will ever have a better chance of snagging a foul ball.

[rynefan]

I had SRO for the "first" night game (rain out) and that was just nuts. We were soaked, but man it was a blast.

[rynefan]

The audio is ridiculous.

[bcl412]

It looks a like a big red patch might hit Chicago again.

[SouthSideRyan]

They came back from commercial showing the ump calling for the tarp in the 5th and I thought it was live. I was gonna be real pissed.
