Pulling Gregg from the closer's spot isn't the right answer.

[David]

cooler heads prevail

 

its a lot better with marmol, if gregg can actually get outs during the rest of the season, and the rest of the team if gregg keeps up this meaningless position

 

 

Werd.

[Derwood]

well thank goodness I couldn't see this.

 

Eat a ****, Fox

Eat a ****, Fox

Fox? What did Jake or Chad do to you?

[Schwarber Fan]

I think he impossibly managed to mix up Chad Fox and Kevin Gregg

 

that or he thinks the game was on FOX and that prevented him from watching.

[The R-Train]

Fox has a deal where you can't watch any Saturday day games on MLB.TV or MLBEI. That's what he meant.

Yeah, and it pisses me off as well.

MLBTV's blackout restriction didn't apply to today's game. Saturday games after 1:10 ET are subject to it. Today's game was at 1:05.

Well MLBEI didn't carry it, I can tell you that much.

Yeah reading it again I see he was peeved at the network.

[Guest]

MLB.TV definitely carried the game. I watched some of it before heading to work.

That's not the first time that's happened, I don't think. Sounds like EI is ripping people off in that respect.

[E.J.]

Haha. Found this over at BCB.

Today's win moved me to 3-0 in Cubs games attended in 2009. Too bad it's probably my last one for the year.

I'm 4-1 and I plan on attending several more games this year so I'll keep the good times going.

[Fred Hornkohl]

I'm 3-0..... and I got a whole lot more tickets !!

Noticeable by her absence today was Laura. Laura, we did our part and brought home a winner, now you do your part, and get well soon !!!

[pitchcs]

Nice pictures Fred, good time today.

[Guest]

Good pics, Fred.

 

The ballpark looks really good.

[Laura]

Good-looking bunch there, Fred! I'm really sorry I couldn't make it.

The only game I've tried to go to this year got rained out. If you would like, you may pay me to stay away from Wrigley the rest of the year. ;)

[The R-Train]

Ha, you can totally see me in the Randy Hundley pic! Guy on the left side walking under the press box, in full Cubs employee uniform, of course!

[Little Slide Rooter]

Pulling Gregg from the closer's spot isn't the right answer.

 

More so the oposite, trust the rest of your pen with the 4 run lead so Gregg is ready to go if needed for the next game. Enough of the once hes warmed up he has to get in or his knee stiffens crap.

[Schwarber Fan]

Nice pics Fred!

 

And to clarify, yes the game was on MLB.tv

[BCVM22]
