The game actually starts at 12:10, CST.

Between Thom Brennaman, Tim McCarver and Casey Coleman, there are plenty of reasons not to watch this game.

And yet...

Why does FOX think everyone has a wide screen TV?

Because more people have them than not, so you may as well cater to the majority rather than the minority.

Stubbs stole second base

Renteria called out on strikes

Another light crowd today. What's the excuse...errr....reason today?

It's gross out and the Cubs aren't very good?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Votto struck out swinging

I have a widescreen TV and I can still only see half the graphic (can't see the Reds score for example).

Or they could do what WGN does and show the game in wide screen but still allow people who don't have wide screen TVs to be able to see the bleeping score.

Because 56% of homes now have a high def widescreen tv?

You may want to check the settings on your TV. All the graphics show up as they should on my widescreen. Sounds like you may have your picture set to full screen or something.

Does Soriano have really bad career numbers against Arroyo or something? I know Castro is slumping, but it seems a bit much to sit both him and Soriano today.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fukudome singled to center field

[Rob]

Worth noting the announcers are morons. Fukudome was in fact on the Cubs 2008 postseason roster.

[Sammy Sofa]

Barney seems to encourage all the worst small ball aspects in a manger.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Barney grounded to shortstop 6-4-3, Fukudome to second

[otis89]

Is it impossible for FOX to find announcers who know what the hell they're doing?
