Cox is such a jagbag. I really hate him.

 

If he got tossed for arguing the timing of Joe West ordering the lights turned on, it sounds like he has a legitimate case here. From the way it was described on the radio, it sounds like the pitcher had just finished up his warm-up tosses and was ready to go when the ump came out and ordered the lights to be turned on. He should have had them turned on immediately after the previous inning ended.

 

Except for the fact that Atlanta screwed with Marquis the inning before. It was makeup call more or less.

 

That was the part I wasn't clear about. I knew there was an issue with the lights that inning, but I had no idea what it was. Makes more sense now. Joe West is still a d-bag though.

Who would sit Edmonds the rest of this game to keep him rested for tonight?

Not a bad idea, but I'd say just let Edmonds finish the game and then start Johnson in Game 2, since he hasn't played in awhile.

I would strongly consider it.

 

Is a 6 run lead big enough with Marquis pitching?

 

You never know, but the offense should still be able to scratch across another run or three even if Marquis gets sloppy.

anyone else hearing another set of announcers in their rear surround speakers?

 

I'm listening to the Braves' broadcast on XM, and I keep hearing some little kid in the background constantly yelling "Come on, Cubbies!" in a very annoying high-pitched voice. I'm happy there's a young Cubs fan there that's enthusiastic about the game, but I'd hate to be sitting next to him.

I'm watching peachtree tv and you can hear that girl too. The tv guys have been making fun of her.

 

FYI, yes, the radio guys voices keep showing up on the tv broadcast, and it happens whenever they show the radio guys on the screen.

peachtree is doing a whole bunch of skip caray stuff, showing some of his flubs and whatnot, and now they are doing some Harry Caray ones.

I'm sorry I can't watch now. Would like to see that.
