5/7 Cubs (Lilly) @ Astros (Ortiz) - 7:05 PM CT - CSN+

Butterscup1679666578 · May 7, 2009

Cubs going for the short two-game sweep.

We've got Ted Lilly (3-2, 3.13 ERA), who apparently destroyed the future children of two players on one pitch, and he does not give a [expletive].

Yeah stupid Blackhawks and Bulls making the playoffs. How ridiculous of them.

Is that the reason behind all these games this year? I knew it seemed like alot of games this season have been on CSN+ or WCIU, but wasnt exactly sure if that was the reason.

Butters, you definitely know how to pick the game thread pics!

Yeah both teams have/had their playoff games broadcast on CSN. Makes sense that there would be a lot of Cubs games on CSN+ since they obviously don't know the playoff schedule beforehand when they make their Cubs schedules.

I love how it looks like Soto is holding his boys in sympathy and cringing.

Regular season baseball >> any hockey, unless you're watching the games in person.

I'll see the game either way, but televised pucks is right there with NASCAR and golf broadcasts when it comes to viewing entertainment.

I'll just take the highlights, thanks.

actually, the sox game is on CSN tommorow night.

actually, the sox game is on CSN tommorow night.

Now that's really an outrage. At least some people care about playoff hockey.

Home team gets CSN. Away team gets CSN+.

Let's pound Russ Ortiz. And good Ted Lilly should show up.

Little Slide Rooter · May 7, 2009

It would eb nice to sweep our first series, even if it is just a 2 gamer. While we should be able to get to Old Man Ortiz, Lilly and the Crawford Boxes is always a scary combination.

soapy · May 7, 2009

Cubs pound Ortiz and win a laugher.

actually, the sox game is on CSN tommorow night.

Yeah, Hawks are on Versus exclusively tonight. Which sucks in its own way, but that's for another thread.

It would be nice if the Cubs would keep winning until I decide to follow them on a daily basis this season. So go Lilly!

We've got Ted Lilly (3-2, 3.13 ERA), who apparently destroyed the future children of two players on one pitch, and he does not give a [expletive].

This reminds me of the old Todd Walker photoshops, except it's real. Outstanding work.

Regular season baseball >> any hockey, unless you're watching the games in person.

I'll see the game either way, but televised pucks is right there with NASCAR and golf broadcasts when it comes to viewing entertainment.

I'll just take the highlights, thanks.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Hockey on tv used to be blah, the dawn of HD completely revitalized it. Playoff hockey is a whole 'nother animal. Playoff hockey on HD is riduculously good tv.

Now that's really an outrage. At least some people care about playoff hockey.

Home team gets CSN. Away team gets CSN+.

That doesn't make much sense when you think about it. You'd think with no real option to go to the game they'd put the road team on CSN.

Why not put the Cubs on WGN for crying out loud?

Oh, that's right. How dare I suggest they run Cubs baseball instead of WWE Superstars and Around the World for Free?

I nominate Butters to be the designated game thread starter.

Just thank your lucky stars we didn't have to face Wandy or Moehler.

5/7 Cubs (Lilly) @ Astros (Ortiz) - 7:05 PM CT - CSN+
