Damn Cali, you got the short end of the stick having to follow tonights game huh.

Awesome another Cards game blacked out on ESPN but on CSN which isn't a standard cable channel for much of Indiana. Can't wait to move to New Orleans and no longer be subject to the black out rules.

Hopefully Carpenter's outing is a short one.

Damn Cali, you got the short end of the stick having to follow tonights game huh.

no, the short end of the stick was starting the game thread of the 5/19 game.

I cant imagine a responsible manager who cares about hi players leaving in a pitcher whose been out over a month with no rehab assignmnet in there too long. However, TLR just might.

Just what the Cubs needed: some Raisin magic. :D

Schwarber Fan · May 20, 2009

I'm cautiously optimistic about this one. Carpenter hasn't pitched in a while and the offense is definitely due. Hopefully we work better counts tonight, get Carpenter out of there early, and make this a longer, more enjoyable game.

Last night, we made Joel Pineiro look like a Cy Young winner. Tonight, we make a CY Young winner look like Joel Pineiro.

Awesome another Cards game blacked out on ESPN but on CSN which isn't a standard cable channel for much of Indiana. Can't wait to move to New Orleans and no longer be subject to the black out rules.

New Orleans? Hmm... Since both Vance and I live outside the hurricane zone, you will have two places to evacuate to if need be. :D

gflore34 · May 20, 2009

If the Cubs can manage 4 runs tonight that should be enough, can't imagine the Cardinals, with that lineup they threw out there last, scoring more than 3 runs if any.

When they play the Astros on ESPN, you'll miss those games. Oh ...and the ones against the Braves too.

New Orleans is not some magical location that isn't have blackout rules: MLB has them marked as a Houston/Texas market.

Navin was 1-2 starting game threads last year, and 3-3 the year before that. How 'bout we just get the game thread, and hold the magic ?? :wink:

kujay · May 20, 2009

I'm going to this one, which means it will be the first full Cubs game I've watched this season.

Don't disappoint me, Demp.

mjohnson71 · May 20, 2009

Slightly OT: Supposedly they're looking at opening a John Barleycorn down in St. Louis by Busch Stadium. It would be nice if they did; could serve as a safe haven for Cubs fans when the team plays down there.

You mean he's due? Or even overdue? :wink:

Dempster has allowed more than 4 ERs in exactly half of his starts this year including against the offensively challenged Dbacks and these same St. Louis Cardinals.

True. I'm not sure why he's upset since he hasn't been watching games all year anyways.

Yeah, I was going to say I think Werner has me confused with someone else. I think I'm at .500 nearly every year.

Yeah the boycott failed. I have watched some games although not nearly as many as normal.

And MJ, yes I realize N.O. still has blackout rules but they don't apply to the Cubs so I don't care. The only times I will care is when they play the Astros and I might be blacked out.

Rick Ankiel-OF-Cardinals May. 20 - 3:41 pm et

According to Bernie Miklasz of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Rick Ankiel will not be returning from the disabled list Wednesday.

Ankiel was scheduled for an afternoon workout at Busch Stadium, and apparently things didn't go too well. The center fielder has been on out of commission since May 5 with a right shoulder contusion. We should have more information shortly.

Ski · May 20, 2009

That graph says I am blacked out of Minnesota games, but I was able to watch the Twins Yankees games on ESPN.

5/20: Cubs (Demp) at Cards (Carpenter); 7:15 pm CT, CSN/ESPN
