Just noticed Sunday is the ESPN game. Surprised a Reds-Cubs game gets that slot. Wrigley renovations is the reason, I assume?

the cubs are good is the reason

 

espn eats up a competitive cubs team as much as they do the yankees and red sox

Pretty sure the schedule was out before the Wrigley renovations got pushed back. Pretty random game to have in primetime though. Even as a Cubs fan, I'd probably rather see KC/St Louis

The game time was TBA for a while.

At the beginning of the season ESPN had only nailed down the first 4 or 5 games of the season. The renovation schedule was already known at the time this game was selected. However, I still doubt the RF bleachers being finished had anything to do with this selection. As has been said, a competitive Cubs team is a big draw. Also, a competitive team where people have problems getting to watch them everyday (due to the TV situation) is a big draw. That's why the Dodgers were on SNB so often last summer.

Somebody was calling that guy out as a Cardinals troll. That pretty much seals the deal.

Can't have the Cardinals and Yankees on Sunday night every single week.

 

This is the first Sunday night game (out of 11 so far) that will not feature one of the Cardinals/Tigers/Yankees.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 21-14 (.600) in night games.... 11-13 (.458) in day games.

It's basketball, only the last 5 minutes matters. That'll leave you with plenty of time for the 2006 and 2011 World Series clinchers.
