8/3 Cubs (J------) @ Dodgers (Beckett), 3:10 CST, WGN

[Soul]

The greatest thing about that play by Alcantara is how he made it look so easy. Just effortless.

 

On then we have Coughlan in LF.

Yeah but in all fairness to Coughlan, that ball was creamed.

I'm at the game. Ball was not crushed. Routine ball that he got crossed up on. And yes contra throw was incredible

[Guest]

Unbelievable that WGN is blacked out in LA.

 

Piece of [expletive] Dodger TV agreement/piece of [expletive] DirecTV.

Coughlan continues w the hot bat

[mhuber92211]

That's weird. I got the wgn game on Friday. Also for those 2004-5 fans. I can confirm towel drills still in effect. Reliever using towels in the bullpeb

[NOLA]

No more bad TV Dodger moments please.

[CubInOK]

Well my friends, the time has come.

[NOLA]

Well my friends, the time has come.

That, and that Honda commercial make me want to go punch a hipster. Like more than usual.

Jackson displaying a surprising amount of competence today.

[BrockLanders]

The above post was poorly timed.

Edwin has turned into Edlose now

2 runs in 6 innings would be a great effort compared the large amount of awfulness he has shown lately.

[Illini Iceman]

No more bad TV Dodger moments please.

 

C'mon Mr Ed sliding into home plate is comedy gold.

[Andy]

Well my friends, the time has come.

He switches the hand that holds the glass between "Fiesta" and "Forever". So there's that.

Yeah, we got the WGN broadcast Friday. Judging by DirecTV's Facebook page, a few other people are having the same issue today and are none too pleased.

[Illini Iceman]

The only thing worse than Schierholtz being on the team is that they keep playing him.

[Fro]

Not sure why Schierholtz even swung at any of those pitches.... he must have been possessed by Dusty on that at-bat.

 

Edit: Baker and Castro came through!

[Sosa21MVP]

John Baker's inability to hit the ball hard paid off on that weak grounder, then Starlin comes through! Although he did appear to tweak his back. :?

[mhuber92211]

Castro really tweaked it. On the 1-0 pitch he swung out of his shoes and tried to stretch it out. It was clear he hurt it because Jones came down the line from 3B box to check on him. During the pitcher change he was in the dugout and never came out

#Cubs Castro is fine. Just lifted for pinch-runner to enjoy the rest of his day off

al contra flashing serious leather today

If only we had someone at AAA to bring up in case Starlin needs some down time...

[ScrubMD]

Contra has some crazy range.
