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

[Little Slide Rooter]

Funny how were marching out the B team and our lineup still looks better than theirs, or most in the NL for that matter.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 1-5 with John Hirschbeck's crew on the field this year...

Looks like theyre blacking it out on ESPN in the chicago area

[Andy]

Good news: I get whatever station is WCIU in South Bend

 

Bad news: Standard definition

 

I guess I'll take the trade off.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Good to see Lee and Theriot get a day off (another in the case of Theriot).

 

Ward has some pretty good numbers versus Moehler.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Hershiser always looks like he's pooping when he talks

[weatherdood]

I'm ticked. I live 90 miles from Wrigley and can't watch this game.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Matsui grounded out to first, 3-1

[Andy]

Wow, Daryle!!

[Ding Dong Johnson]

what a "play" by Ward

[Outshined_One]

That was almost horrifying.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Tejada singled to center field

[Andy]

Hmm. Not sure what Jimmy was going for there.

[PrimeTime]

So far it looks liek his fastball is at like 87,88 mph

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

DP, plz.

[Outshined_One]

Hmm. Not sure what Jimmy was going for there.

 

I don't think he did, either.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Berkman flied out to center field , Tejada took second

[E.J.]

WCIU blows. Len and Bob sound like they're using tin cans.

[PrimeTime]

Wow, that ball drifted that far to the track? Looked like a shallow popup off the bat

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

It's either ESPN or the Astros announcers for me....

 

I'll take ESPN, reluctantly.

[PrimeTime]

Of course..Carlos Lee kills us..Damnit!

[Outshined_One]

What in the heck was that, Fuku?

[UMFan83]

That was a bit of a buzzkill

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Holy Crap! Where was Kosuke throwing that one?

[Andy]

Kosuke throws it to no man's land when he had no chance to get Tejada.

 

So much for Japanese fundamentals.
