Go CUBS !!

[Little Slide Rooter]

When the hell did Vogelsong come back and get good? I still think we can beat him though.

Is this the first ever Saturday night game in Wrigley? If not, it has to be one of few.

Not the 1st one ever, but 1st in something like 16 years or so

According to this this is the first Saturday night game since Darryl Kile's death and the last scheduled Saturday night game was in 98.

Dear weather, I traveled 4 hours for this game please let them play.

The Giants are starting RYAN VOGELSONG?!?!

 

I just looked it up - Ryan Vogelsong hadn't thrown a pitch in the majors since 2006(!) until this year. At least he presents a worthy adversary for our own golden boy, Doug Davis. Fox must thrilled with this scintillating matchup. It's Pirates-Brewers circa 2004.

[mike2482]

I have 3 extra tickets for tonights game in the bleachers. I paid 60 a piece for them if anybody wants them they can have them at that price. Let me know if anybody is interested.

Nobody outside of Chicago and San Francisco will be getting the game anyway.

Kind of late for a Fox Saturday game, isn't it?

Believe they are doing a double header today. They have the usual 3 p.m. CST game and then added a 6 p.m. CST game.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Can't imagine they are showing two games today. Maybe some of the country will get a 3 p.m. game and others a 6 p.m., but not both.

HA! Good luck -- bleachers probably going for about $10 tonight

Damn, beat me to it! Better be open to making a deal tonight; they're barely worth the paper they're printed on tonight.

There was no 3 PM Fox game, just the 6 PM games (Cubs/Giants, Yankees/Red Sox, D-Backs/Dodgers)

[hawkcub]

I think Fox is doing a number of 6 P.M. games this year.

[Cubswin11]

Hopefully they get this in, doesn't look like rain is going to get in until about 8, but after that it's rain all night.
